People often say that the self-giving love expressed in the scriptures is impractical and outdated in today's world; yet the stories of Anthony Borges, the 15-year old who was shot 5 times as he shielded his classmates during a mass shooting on February 14, 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida and Aaron Fies, a coach at the school who gave his life shielding students, illustrate how ordinary people transcend themselves and do extraordinary things. And these are examples of the continuing relevance of the gospel of selfless love.
