1 00:00:00,255 --> 00:00:06,921 Love is one of the most beautiful feelings  we can experience as human beings. 2 00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:15,569 It stirs our hearts, brings us joy,  and connects us deeply with others. 3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:26,400 But anyone who has truly loved,  whether a spouse, a child, a friend,  4 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,782 knows that love cannot stay  only at the level of emotion. 5 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,179 Feelings come and go. 6 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:38,831 Real love is a choice. 7 00:00:40,609 --> 00:00:48,216 In today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” 8 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,028 He’s not asking for words or feelings alone. 9 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,571 He’s inviting us to live our love through action. 10 00:01:00,647 --> 00:01:06,560 Jesus shows us that love  means choosing to forgive,   11 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,952 to serve, to be faithful, even when it’s hard. 12 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,198 And here’s the good news: we are not alone in this. 13 00:01:19,729 --> 00:01:23,440 Jesus promises, “I will ask the Father,  14 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,829 and He will give you another  Advocate to be with you forever.” 15 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,880 The Holy Spirit empowers us to love this way,  16 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,000 not just with warmth in our hearts,  but with strength in our will. 17 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,439 So today, let’s be grateful  for the feeling of love,  18 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:52,591 but let’s also ask God for the  grace to choose love daily. 19 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,674 Because love, when chosen, becomes not just a feeling,  20 00:01:59,674 --> 00:02:02,768 but a reflection of Christ Himself.
