\u201cYou did not choose me, but I chose you.\u201d (Jn. 15:16)
\nEletto’s last act was an act of love. This means that he was accustomed to doing so, because otherwise, in those moments, one can only think of oneself. (…)
\nEven in this act, God was Love for him and for us, urging us to continue on the path of the Ideal better than before.
