THE HUMAN LOVE - SOLIDARITY AND CHRISTIAN CHARITY
Abstract
The charity is a genuine expression of humanity and a fundamental element in the achievement of authentic human relationships. The people, the beneficiaries of the divine love and subjects of charity, they are called to make themselves instruments of efficient spreading of God's love. According to the teaching of Jesus, love is the synthesis of the entire Law, the real substance of the personal relationship with God and with the neighbour, it is the principle of human micro-relationships (with friends, family and small group), as well as human macro-relationships (social, economic and political relationships). In the actual social and cultural context, in which is disseminated the tendency to relativize the truth, to live the human love as solidarity and Christian charity is to realize the fact that the adherence to the human-Christian values is not only a useful item, but also indispensable to building a good society and a true integral human development.
