First Reading —

You shall not oppress an alien, for you yourselves were once aliens in Egypt (Exodus 22:20-26).

Psalm —

I love you, Lord, my strength (Psalm 18).

Second Reading —

You became imitators of the Lord, so that you became a model for all believers (1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10).

Gospel —

You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:34-40).

READINGS FOR TODAY

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time/A

Do you receive the word of God with joy as the

Thessalonians did? Their faith showed in their

actions. They became models for other believers.

The first reading tells us to put our faith into action.

This passage is part of a long list of ordinances God

commanded the Israelites to observe. God will

judge us by how we treat our neighbors. God will

hear the cries of any whom we neglect or mistreat

and will come to their defense.

In today’s Gospel the Pharisees put the question

of God’s law to Jesus. “Which commandment of the

law is the greatest?” (Matthew 22:36) How could he

possibly choose from all the detailed

commandments the Jews observed? He was sure

to offend somebody by his answer! Of course,

Jesus went right to the heart of the matter. Love is

the greatest commandment—love of God and love

of neighbor. Everything else is based on this.

In answering the question about the most important commandment in the law, Jesus focuses equally on two commandments; namely, loving God with one’s “whole heart, whole soul, whole mind, and whole strength;” and, loving one’s neighbor as one’s own self. For Jesus, these two commandments are inseparably related to each other.

Anger and hate have become acceptable to some in our society. Our children are our treasures. We need to protect them from the terrors of this fallen world. We need to teach them that, as followers of Jesus Christ, they cannot participate in the work of the devil, the work of hatred.

Parents, educate your children by absolutely refusing to allow the word “hate” to be used in your house by anyone, children or adults. Even if a child says, “I hate” … parents should say, “We do not say that word here”. You can say, ‘I can’t understand ...,’ but the word “hate” is not allowed in this house.” And, if the child asks “Why?”, respond, “Because this is not just a house, it is a home. A home is where Jesus is present. He is here uniting us into a family.” And, if your pre-Teen or Teen asks, “So, is it OK to use the word hate outside of our house?”, you should respond, “No, it is not OK. Remember, we each have Jesus dwelling inside of us. He will not remain within us if we turn from His Love and turn to hate.” Teach your children that the love that they experience from Mom and Dad, and the love that they have for Mom and Dad, are just small reflections of the love that God has for them. And, that they must have love for God. God created us to love us. He fills us with His love. Rich or poor, healthy or sick, in a crowd or alone, every one of us has received the infinite gift of God’s love. “Know that I am

with you always,” Jesus said to the disciples before He ascended

into heaven. He is here. He is with us. He is loving us. And, He is waiting for our response. Our response is our love for Him, a love that is all embracing, a love that emanates from our whole life, our whole heart, our whole mind and our whole soul. Every action of our lives must display the love of God. We are people of God. We are people of love. If we are ever anywhere, or involved in anything where the love of God is not evident, then we have no business being there. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit gives us the courage to follow the commandment of Love in our life - wherever we are.

LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION

Primera lectura

— Dios escucha el llanto de los oprimidos (Éxodo 22:20-26).

Salmo

— Te amo, oh Señor, mi fuerza (Salmo 18 [17])

Segunda Lectura

— El pueblo de Dios es conocido por su

conversión y amor de Dios (1 Tesalonicenses 1:5c-10).

Evangelio

— La ley principal es la ley del amor (Mateo

22:34-40).

LECTURAS DE HOY

Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario/A

¿Recibes la palabra de Dios con gozo, al igual que

hicieron los tesalonicenses? Su fe se reflejó en sus

acciones. Se convirtieron en ejemplo para otros

creyentes. La primera lectura nos dice que pongamos

nuestra fe en acción. Este pasaje es parte de una

larga lista de reglas que Dios impone a los israelitas

para su observancia y para respetar su Ley. Dios nos

juzgará por cómo nosotros tratamos a nuestros

semejantes. Dios escuchará los llantos de todo aquel

al que desatendemos o maltratamos, y vendrá en su

defensa. En el Evangelio de hoy, los fariseos plantean

la cuestión de la Ley de Dios. “¿Cuál es el

mandamiento más importante de la Ley?” (Mateo

22:36). ¿Cómo es posible que él pueda elegir de entre

todos los detallados mandamientos que los judíos

observaban? ¡Sin duda que ofendería a alguien con

su respuesta! Sin embargo, Jesús fue derecho al

grano. El amor es el más grande de todos los

mandamientos, el amor de Dios y el amor del prójimo.

Todo lo demás se basa en esto.

EL AMOR ESTÁ EN LA ACCIÓN

Hermanas y hermanos en la primera lectura del libro del

Exodo, no invita a reflexionar que es muy comun que en

las sociedades se vaya marginando y excluyendo casi

naturalmente a los pobres como son en este caso las

viudas, los huerfanos y los extranjeros. En todo caso Dios

nos da una esperanza y nos dice que no tendra oidos

sordos a sus suplicas, porque su misericordia es bondad

para el desvalido y al mismo tiempo juicio para el opresor.

En la segunda lectura de San Pablo a los

Tesalonicenses, nos dira que Dios trabaja a traves del

anuncio y el testimonio del evangelio, hay que vivir

confiados, sin miedos y con esperanza en Cristo Jesus,

quien por medio de su resurreccion, ha sido constituido

Juez de todo y de todos.

En el Evangelio de san Mateo, una pregunta directa

provoco una respuesta directa al doctor de la ley y

tambien a cada uno de nosotros que debemos amar a

Dios y amar a nuestros hermanos. En un mundo plagado

de fachadas y mascaras es facil acostumbrarse a

disculparlo todo o justificarlo todo, el orden empieza

siempre con un pensamiento claro en la mente; una idea

llena de luz atrae a otras. Y hoy Jesus nos da esa clave

fundamental, ese primer principio que ilumino su alma

santa y que quiere iluminar tambien a cada una de

nuestras vidas. La palabra maravillosa es Ama; pero

tambien depende de a quien ames y con que Amor. El

regalo que el nos dio fue tan grande y nos enseno a morir

amando para resucitar tambien amando.

Que tengan una bendecida semana.

TH

_{SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME}

“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with

all your soul and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37

Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of

money, power, status, comfort or some personal

possession greater than your love for God? Do you really

recognize that everything you have and that everything

you are is a gift from God? The good news – it’s not too

late to put God first in all things in your life.
