+ The gospel passage today is short and to the point: loving God with all one’s might is
the most human thing that one can do, and the most pleasing to him; loving others as you love yourself is
next and closely related with it: if we all have been loved into existence and
are sustained by that love at each millisecond, then we owe each other and
ourselves a lot, in regard to honor, dignity and care. God is in himself a
dynamic of giving, and when we freely, enthusiastically and self-sacrificially
give of ourselves, we are most like-God, and he sees himself in us and he is
delighted with what he sees.
St. Paul tells Timothy and he
tells us that we must present ourselves
as acceptable to God, a workman who causes no disgrace, who imparts the word of
truth without deviation: when the word of truth is a tremendous love story
between God and his people – then it is worth every sacrifice it might take to
spread it around: may we do our part today!
The
friendship of the Lord is with those who fear him, and his covenant for their
instruction.
