49.1

Let the one who has love in Christ carry out the commands of Christ.

49.2

Who can explain the bond of the love of God?

49.3

Who is sufficient to describe the greatness of its beauty?

49.4

The height to which love leads us is beyond description.

49.5

Love joins us to God. Love covers a multitude of sins. Love bears all things and is patient in all things. There is nothing base in love, nothing proud. Love has no schism; love does not rebel; love does everything in harmony. In love all God's elect were made perfect. Without love nothing is pleasing to God.

49.6

In love the Master received us. Because of the love he had for us, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the will of God, gave his blood for us, his flesh for our flesh, and his soul for our souls.
