Charity in Truth: Vocation of the heart

From Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical.

"Charity rejoices in the truth (1 Cor 13:6). All people feel the interior impulse to love authentically. Love and truth never abandon them completely, because these are the vocations planted in the heart and mind of every human person.

The search for love and truth is purified and liberated by Jesus Christ from the impoverishment that our humanity brings to it, and he reveals to us in all it's fullness the initiative of love and the plan of true life that God has planned for us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God has put his law in everyone's heart. Purified by Christ, the impulse to love is brought supernaturally to it's full potential, if we are so willing to love. It requires truth as it's guide and shield. Our love is always bound by truth even as the earth is bound by the pull of the sun. The two belong to each other; gifts given to all by the Father.
