Can You Love Someone You Can't Stand? | Ask A Priest

Spirit Juice Podcast 7 days ago

Description

Have you ever met someone who just gets on your nerves, no matter how hard you try to like them?

In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers a question we've all struggled with: How do you love someone you don't even like? Jesus commands us to love one another, but what happens when our feelings tell us otherwise?

Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas and the wisdom of the Church, Father Tim explains the difference between our emotions, intellect, and free will, and why love isn't always about what we feel, but what we choose. Whether it's a difficult coworker, a frustrating friend, or even someone in your own family, choosing to love doesn't mean pretending those negative feelings don't exist.

Our feelings matter, but they don't have to control our actions. Through prayer, grace, and growing in virtue, Jesus helps us choose kindness and love, even when it's difficult.

Because love isn't just a feeling. It's a choice we make every day.
