The topic of Christian love with its fundamental meaning has been present in theological reflection of the Catholic Church for ages. It does not mean that this topic has been outdated. Quite the opposite, the message about God who is Love and the human answer to the love of God, still should be conveyed to people. The centre of God’s plan of love is in Christ. Love has been visible and tangible in Him. In this perspective the encyclical of Benedict XVI "Deus Caritas Est" is situated. Following this encyclical on the topic of love, as a starting point, we should accept the first source of love which is Jesus Christ. He, as an embodiment of perfect love, constitutes the criterion for recognizing the true Christian love.
