Nothing else; only love.

 

Haiku of the essence


The new commandment:

as ancient as time itself,

as new as the dawn.


In love, self-giving,

in sacrifice and in death

God’s glory is found.


My children, shortly

I will be gone. You will search,

but you won’t find me.


Where I am going

you are not able to come.

I give you one rule.


Love one another,

in the same way that I love

you, you are to love.


One thing, nothing else;

by your love you will be known

as my disciples.


Being ruled by love

will be proof that you are mine.

Nothing else, just love.
