St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross teaches about God as love with three points: first, from the fact that God is love; second, that love must be self-gift given freely (ἀγάπη); third, that love creates a union which she refers to as a “we.” While this teaching may seem similar to something St. John of the Cross would say, St. Teresa Benedicta is pointing at the nature of persons and how persons love one another.
