Here's a crass but accurate way of putting the real challenge of love from D. Berrigan.
"Where does your faith live? In the head? In the heart? Your faith is rarely where your head is at, just as it is rarely where your heart is at. Your faith is where your ass is at! Where are you living? What are you doing? These things - our actions, our charity, our morality - are what determine whether we belive or not."
True love is not measured by the amount of knowledge stored in our minds, or by the passion contained in our hearts. It is in the doing, relating, trying, helping, communicating and sharing. What use is the knowledge of faith if they are not shared? What use is passion if not translated into action? Genuine loving is in the doing.
