Sexual Love

By its nature, sexual love aims at a partner of the other sex.

Human being can never meaningfully actuate his/her sexuality
if he/she sees in it only as a purely ego-centric value. Human
sexuality must, therefore, be viewed in terms of partnership, a
meaningful companionship.

The Sacredness of Human

Sexuality
Christian doctrine teaches that human sexuality is sacred, as it
is intended by God for a specific objective – the bearing of
children, which requires a strong and sacred union between
man and woman.
It is the sanctity of this union which elevates marriage into a

sacrament, and only those in the bond of
marriage, or its equivalent, are morally allowed to use that
power to procreate.

and Sanctity
The conflict and the evil that seems to arise

between sex and sanctity come only when the

human being is allowed to control the higher
rational and spiritual powers.

sensuality and sexuality, can be
Plato transformed and elevated to the

highest form of love (Platonic
(348 BC) love). Likewise, lust purified of
selfish passion could be
transformed into real love
The sexual act can be sanctified or made

holy by converting the passion, pleasure, and
enjoyment attached to it into real and
unselfish love.

unsound, it is impossible to find a desired

The greater the measure of one’s love.
The greatest of all sacrifices is, of course, to suffer death for the

reality of your love for others?

loving one another is impossible, then we should stop talking
about peace and reconciliation.
“The weak can never

forgive. Forgiveness is
the attribute of the
strong.”
I say to you, love your enemies and pray

for those who persecute you
(Mt. 5:44)
Jesus’ teaching requires that we forgive injuries, and

extend the law of love to include every enemy
