Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 29, 2017
“ Whoever loves me will keep my word, says
the Lord, and my Father will love him and we
will come to him. ” MT 22: 34-40
All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially the Solemnity of All Saints and also called All Hallows or Hallowmas ),often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after
Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honor of all the saints, known and unknown. In Western Christian
theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national
holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day, specifically commemorates the departed faithful who
have not yet been purified and reached heaven. Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day
in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the state of
grace who have died and are either being purified in purgatory or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and
the 'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living. Other Christian
traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways. In the Roman Catholic Church, All
Saints’ Day is a Holy Day of Obligation in many (but not all) countries, meaning going to Mass on the
date is required unless one has a good reason to be excused from that obligation, such as an illness.
October 29, 2017 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." Jesus gives us a simple moral
principle in today's Gospel. He speaks about two kinds of love: love of God and love of neighbor. He tells us that all the other laws and teachings of our
faith fall under these two headings. So if we can master these, we will be in good spiritual shape!
First of all, regarding the love of God, Jesus tells us in essence that we must love God completely and entirely, with our whole being--heart, soul, and
mind. If we are holding back from a full commitment to God, then we are falling short of
this vision. So we would do well to examine ourselves and find those trouble spots where we are
hesitant to give God everything. Is there a relationship we hold in our heart that is somehow
separating us from God, either by negative association, lingering bitterness, or a kind of
idol-worship of the relationship itself? What about our souls? Are we deeply attached to any pastimes,
pleasures, or pursuits that cloud our soul from clearly welcoming the presence of God? An
examination of our minds is in order as well. How do we direct our thoughts? Do we strive to form our conscience and understanding in the truth, or do we passively allow public opinion or popular consensus
to direct our conclusions about the Church, the world, and our own identity?
It follows that the closer we come to loving God with our whole being, the better we will be at
loving our neighbors. The more we are filled with God's love, the more that love radiates out to those around us, and the less we concern ourselves about what we can get out of the deal. So let us truly love
God, and all the rest will follow.
29 de octubre de 2017 30º Domingo del
Tiempo Ordinario
El principal mandamiento es el tema más
importante de la Liturgia de la Palabra de este
domingo. La pregunta para poner a prueba a
Jesús no se hace esperar por uno de los fariseos:
"Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento más grande de
la ley?" Jesús le respondió: "Amarás al Señor, tu
Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con
toda tu mente". Este es el más grande y el primero
de los mandamientos. Y el segundo es semejante
a éste: "Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti
mismo" (Mt 22, 37-39). Para dar respuesta, Jesús
recurre al Deuteronomio 6, 5 y al Levítico 19, 18.
Lo que el Maestro quería enseñar a los que lo
cuestionaban era el cómo se llevan a cabo los
nuevos preceptos de la ley. Es decir, dar un nuevo
comienzo a las situaciones de ver y medir el amor
a Dios y al prójimo.
Es mentira, el que dice que ama a Dios y no a su
prójimo. Por esta razón, Jesús añade que el
segundo mandamiento es semejante al primero.
El reto es practicar este amor de manera vertical y
horizontal, de Dios hacia el prójimo y viceversa.
"El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica" en su número
2083 dice que "Jesús resumió los deberes del
hombre para con Dios en estas palabras: 'Amarás
al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con toda tu
alma y con toda tu mente' (Mt 22, 37; cfr. Lc 10,
27: '...y con todas tus fuerzas'). Estas palabras
siguen inmediatamente a la llamada solemne:
'Escucha, Israel: el Señor nuestro Dios es el único
Señor' (Dt 6, 4)". ¿Cuáles medios buscamos para
amar a Dios y al prójimo?
