St. Thomas Aquinas gives a definition of love - “Love is willing the good of the other.” Love is not loving so that I can get something from you. We all know that love can be hard. We all know, especially, that fraternal correction can be hard. Fraternal correction is fraternal love. If someone is in sin, we have to go correct (love) them.

Society will tell us, you do you, and that’s just fine. If this leads you away from God, though, it’s not fine. In love, we are called to go to those we are close to, and invite them to come back to the Lord.
