Prayer in Love

Anyone who loves someone knows that love is complex. Greek philosophy attempts to clarify the complexity of love by organizing it into three categories: filial, erotic, and agape. The Christian canon, in the gospel of John, seemingly keeps it simple: God is Love. Yet to equate God with Love really just makes both God and Love, as all-consuming realities, more difficult to comprehend.
