“Why do we mortals wonder if it is through 'human chaos' or through 'divine perfection' when the world guides us to some magical event? In either case, is not the result the same? Is the result not 'divine perfection?” ~ Roman Payne
Connecting to Love: Day 23 ~ Love is Perfection
We must first define what mean by the term "perfection" - "perfection" and "perfect" come from the Latin verb "perficere" which means "to make completely or to bring to completion" - that is perfect which is complete or finished. For the theology christian - God’s essence is existence, "I am who am". The philosophers interpret this by saying that God is Pure Act and contains in Himself all possible perfections. More than that, He is the source of all perfections; it is only because of God’s perfection that we can attribute perfection to any creature.
From the moment of baptism, every Christian is called to be holy and to strive for the perfection of charity. Therefore, the love that is the bond of this relationship and communication of friendship is the love that is charity.
The friendship love that is charity is not only a virtue - it is the most excellent of all the virtues, as St. Paul says: "So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love" (1 Cor 13:13). There can be no perfect Christian virtue without charity.
Charity is love, and love is the source of all our actions.
The basic principle is that pure love is born only from the sacrifice of the entire self in all things; voluntary sacrifice and suffering are its essence. The loving soul is able to put all its love into acts that call for sacrifice. Herein lies the very perfection of love.
The process of the perfecting an individual starts from love and matures centering on love.
The perfection of an individual means the unification of mind and body.
A human being can unite his mind and body when he becomes one with the core of God's love. When a person unites his mind and body and enters the realm of God's love, then the person can grow towards individual perfection.

Everything is created and sustained based upon the law of love. Everything in existence reaches its completion only through relationships of love.
The human being can become perfect only through love.
The human being can become perfect only through love.
The essence of the perfection is unconditional love, a boundless and openness of heart and mind, a selfless giving that is free from attachment and expectation.
Love knows ways that consciousness doesn't recognize, and it's in this process that consciousness can see its purpose. In love, the spirit awakes and in this path will allow the conscience of the soul to see its purpose.
