Is love, or the virtue of charity, really just a feeling? Can we just think nice thoughts about somebody and truly say that we love them?

Scripture and tradition say otherwise. Love is active, not passive. Being charitable means doing things for those you love even when it costs you something. The greatest example of that is the Cross - when Christ gave his life for us.

Struggling with loving those around you? Think of love as a verb rather than a noun.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." (1 Corinthians 13:1)
