Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

During his Sunday homily, Bishop Eugenio Coter spoke on the necessity of deepening the sense of love to prevent the deterioration of human relationships and the social fabric. He noted that a lack of genuine affection leads to spiritual immaturity and warned against interpreting love in selfish or superficial ways.

The bishop stated that true love requires a unity of heart and that loving others involves understanding that human existence is nourished by service and relationships with neighbors. He called for an examination of how a lack of love manifests in daily life, including professional, work, and family environments.

Bishop Coter observed that interpersonal relationships often suffer due to selfishness, irresponsibility, or broken commitments. He said that when work is performed without love, it becomes a deception of others, noting that a lack of vocation and dedication in daily labor can ruin coexistence.
