Memento amaris is latin for "remember, you are loved". It is a complement to the classical "memento mori", i.e. "remember, you will die". Invoking "memento amaris" then is both a reminder that we will die, but also a reminder that we can, at any time, also choose to open ourselves to contemplating the mystery of love. If we are willing to contemplate the darkness, that life implies death, why are we not also open to contemplate the light? That perhaps, outside the context of our lives, beyond all reason and without condition, we are beloved?
