Hello brothers and sisters!
This Thursday at Emmaus we will have a discussion on Blessed John Paul II's (actually Karol Wojtyla's) Love and Responsibility aided by Dr. Edward Sri's book Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love. What Christopher West has done for Theology of the Body, Dr. Edward Sri has done for Love and Responsibility. This book is based on the thesis that real love does not use another for his/her own pleasure, but seeing the great dignity of the other, seeks to love as God loves and thus welcomes and feels a profound sense of responsibility for another that accompanies real love. The chapters are short, but are power packed with Catholic awesomeness (aka beautiful truth! ... no fluff). In fact the book was written for discussion in groups and has great discussion questions all ready to go at the end of each chapter.
So grab a friend, or remind one you just met or haven't seen in a while, and meet us in Kohl's Hall at 7 PM for rosary, 7:30 for the rest.
with love in Christ,
The Emmaus Core Team
"Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another. Limitation of one's freedom might seem to be something negative and unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing. Freedom exists for the sake of love." Love and Responsibility p135
