Matthew 25:29
The document discusses how love grows when it is shared with others. It says that those who share their love will have it multiplied, while those who do not share their love will lose even what little they have. Love is a talent that must be invested and given away, as love grows more the more it is given to others. Loneliness comes from not sharing one's love with God and others. The Gospel calls us to embrace others with our love.
