The Master of Love - Augusto Cury

This book tells a love story: love for life, for humanity, for its failures and overcoming. Only one person was able to take this feeling to its ultimate consequences and, in its name, give himself up to death. In The Master of Love, the fourth book in the collection Analysis of the Intelligence of Christ, Augusto Cury investigates the passion that Jesus had for human beings. With a poetic approach – although based on science, history and psychology – the author makes a study of the touching messages that Jesus left before dying on the cross. In each moment of pain, he strengthened his ties with his Father. He knew that suffering was part of his destiny and that he needed it to complete his mission. Reflecting on Jesus' generous reactions, we discover how selfish and superficial our attitudes can be. With his example, we realize our tendency to oversize problems, failing to see the valuable lessons they bring us. Jesus Christ was a man like any other: he suffered, cried and experienced moments of extreme anxiety. Despite this, he was perfect in his ability to forgive, respect, understand, have mercy and dignity. But, above all, he was brilliant in his ability to love, to be a leader of his own world and his emotions. The greatest connoisseur of the human soul was aware of our weaknesses, but believed in the purity of our hearts. By the strength of his unshakable faith in us, Jesus became the most important character in history. **** "When a sower buries a seed, he is saddened for a few moments and rejoices for posterity. He is saddened, because he will never see it again. He rejoices, because it will be reborn and multiply into thousands of new seeds . The Master of Love sowed the most beautiful seeds in the soil of the human soul and spirit. He cultivated them with his afflictions and irrigated them with his love. He was the first sower who gave his life for his seeds. Finally , they germinated and transformed the emotion and art of thinking about a garden with the most beautiful flowers. Perhaps Jesus was the only person who could look up and see the green fields when there were only stones and sand in front of him. He gave us He taught us that we need to have goals and encouraged us to dream about them. He showed us that we can break the shackles of fear and difficulties and revealed that no desert is so arid and so long that it cannot be crossed. He had every reason to be discouraged, but he never gave up on life or stopped being enchanted by human beings. Jesus loved us with all his strength, despite knowing that we are not giants or heroes. Your story is the greatest self-esteem laboratory. Given such a beautiful trajectory, we cannot help but conclude that life is worth living. Even if we have setbacks, we cry, we are defeated, we are disappointed with ourselves and the world, we are misunderstood and we encounter obstacles, life is simply an unmissable show.
