knowHis.love
In his first encyclical in 1979, Pope John Paul II wrote, “Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it.” The purpose of knowHis.love is to create a platform where men and women of different backgrounds can offer resources to help build a culture firmly rooted in God’s love. We hope to reveal love to everyone who encounters this project, allowing each person to experience and participate in the very core of their identity - that is, to be one who is loved and capable of giving love in return.
