How do we go about living out Jesus Christ’s radical call to love, even loving one’s enemies? Fr. Luke Mata reflects on how early Christians transformed the Roman Empire through acts of forgiveness, unity, and selfless charity, calling this a true “revolution of love.” Drawing on scripture (especially Matthew 5) and Church teachings, the reflection emphasizes that such love is humanly impossible without faith and the Eucharist, which serve as the source and sustenance of divine love. As Christians, we are challenged to forgive others, love those who are difficult, and embody Christ’s compassion in daily life — continuing the same revolution that began with Jesus on the cross.
