Teach Me to Love Like You (Based on Albert Marvelli's diary)

What happens when faith stops being something we simply believe and becomes something we actually live?

“Teach Me to Love Like You” is a modern pop hymn inspired by the words and spirituality of Blessed Alberto Marvelli, a young lay Catholic and member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Drawing especially from his diary, the song echoes his desire for a holiness rooted in prayer but expressed through action, service, responsibility, and love for people in need.

Alberto once prayed for Jesus to give him “your immense love for men and their miseries.” That same desire runs through this song: if Christ lives within us, then his love must reach beyond us.

As we approach Alberto’s feast day on October 5, listen not only to the music, but also to the challenge behind it. What might change if we made this prayer our own?
