LOVE in Screens: Towards Integral Living

LOVE in Screens: Towards Integral Living

In today’s multi-digitalized world, each of us can serve as channels of LOVE through our choices. LOVE, a profound and gratuitous gift from God, finds its reflection in Social Media. As gadgets continue to advance, it prompts us to reflect deeply on how we engage with technology: Is it enriching our lives or eroding our relationships? How does our screen time impact our self-perception and interactions with others?

LOVE, prominently mentioned over 300 times in the Bible, underscores its centrality in God’s character and humanity’s redemption through Christ. It transcends definitions, ultimately realized through selfless actions. St. Francis De Sales encapsulates this truth with his famous quote: “To LOVE is to LOVE without measure,” highlighting the sacrificial nature of true love. Augustine’s teachings further stress the importance of choosing wisely whom and what we love, emphasizing that love is not passive but active—it requires continual effort and commitment.

In the digital realm, LOVE extends beyond the physical to influence our thoughts, behaviors, and actions, finding fulfillment through intentional engagement and meaningful connection.
