The last chapter gives easy to understand guidelines that are helpful without being casuistic. Much of LR is likely too elevated to be useful for most people without a careful reading in a group and/or having access to someone with background in recent Catholic philosophy.This work is not about NFP technology but about living a good life as a sexual person. Too often JPII is read as a justification for a particular "natural" sexual praxis. I would challenge readers to consider rather that the ideal sexual life presented here is rather *based on grace* actively opening a way to union--in which each considers the other first. Grace builds upon nature--to heal, perfect, and elevate it. Without grace, this work will read like just Mt. 5--as another pietistic reason to despair of the greatness of our call to love as God loves. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the casual or pleasure reader. *by T***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2014* Not for the casual or pleasure reader. This is a dense work. Perhaps the most accessible, and also very valuable in their own rights, sections are the introductions to the first and second Polish editions included and translated into English for the benefit of the reader. Throughout the book, the actual Polish words used are also mentioned throughout the English text, so that, should the reader be so fortunate as to know their Polish well, they could compare the original Polish word used to the chosen English translation and parse the nuances of those choices.This book is not intended for the novice or unprepared happenstance reader. The main body of the book not only assumes, but requires a maturity in philosophical training to immediately pick up where the author departs from. Every single chapter could occupy an entire three hour class to satisfyingly deconstruct.The purpose for the book is as interesting as its result. Often Catholic sexual ethics, as the author posits in the Introduction to the First Polish Edition, in about the seventh paragraph, is one of an open, and not necessarily healthy, tension between the definitions of love in the Greek "eros" and "agape". While from the Song of Songs, the Church has never REALLY struggled to integrate these two, often it is our own limitedness that reduces to one or the other, holding the two in healthy tension being difficult, requiring effort, which we eschew.The author brings new life and freshness, or at least reminds of the Church's longstanding vigor and healthy teaching of the holy integration of "eros" and "agape" in the bonds of Christian marriage. It is when, outside the bonds of marriage "eros" is sought that problems begin to arise, or to believe that one can be successful, satisfied in "eros", without the life-long commitment of Christian marriage. In Christian marriage, it is in the seeking of "agape" of the beloved that "eros" most fully and most successfully expresses that love, in wholeness, in holiness, in the fullness of both its meanings. The author reminds us.It is hard to imagine, but we realize it does happen, that "eros" does occur without "agape" within the sacrament of Christian marriage. The author reminds us of the perils of this as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Love creates or should the responsibility to love, if we truly love. *by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2017* The book is a great addition for every Christian that wants to know about love, and the responsibility that love has to create in the relation of woman and man, so that in fact they are acting love, purely and perfectly.An idea that the book left me, is that this is an important thing to realize, specially on these times, as we tend to believe that sensuality (mostly by men) or affectivity are the norths for love (or are in fact love, instead of just the subjective profile of love), not knowing that the objective profile of love (which is the one that should guide and correct) is in fact, the affirmation of the value of the person. Which in summary is to give the person the dignity that it deserves. This can only be achieved by virtue (chastity, temperance, self mastery, etc), and virtue can only grow by our spirituality. Only love virtue is truly love.The end of these virtues is not celibacy, it is the ability to love purely, and therefore truly.Love is not a feeling or an instinct it is a decision, as our will needs to decide toward it, as if it doesn't, it decides away from it.Virtue needs to grow as we grow spiritually, and this is, because love only reaches its level objectively, through virtue. Love is a fruit of the Spirit (and remembering that only God is good) and Love is about goodness (love is of God as God is love), therefore virtue has to grow when we grow spiritually, as love in us (goodness in us), should be growing. Virtue is the way to act that goodness. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9885949-love-and-responsibility-new-transla](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9885949-love-and-responsibility-new-transla) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
