Liturgical love
View through CrossRef
The topic of this chapter is liturgical enactments as manifestations of love. A distinction is drawn between two forms of love that Jesus enjoined: neighbor love, and Christ-like friendship love. A distinction is also drawn between two ways in which love can be manifested: it can be put into practice or exercised, and it can be expressed symbolically. Using these distinctions, the chapter then analyzes in detail some of the ways in which both Christ-like friendship love and neighbor love are not only expressed symbolically in the liturgy but exercised. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of liturgical enactments as formative of love by being manifestations of love.
