REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Matthew 22: 34-40
In an article on “successful aging” (New Theology Review, November, 2010), Dr. Lawrence M. Lenoir proposes that the art of giving and receiving love is at the heart of growing old gracefully. Research shows that being in a loving relationship quiets the demons of depression and despair. So, if you want to be healthy, be loving. Jesus would agree.
The rabbis of Jesus’ day argued about which was the greatest commandment of the six hundred thirteen in the Torah. When the Pharisees asked Jesus, he answered that what God wanted most from the chosen people who had been liberated from slavery and called to live in a covenantal relationship was a return of the love God showed to them. This love has two faces: loving God totally and loving one another as one loves oneself.
Loving is a contagious activity. If you are loved, you tend to be loving. Paul is sounding this note when he writes to the Thessalonians about how they became imitators of him and his fellow evangelizers Timothy and Silvanus, and of the Lord himself, receiving the word and living in faith, joy, and love for each other, because they believed in God’s love for them, revealed in Christ.
Our love must flow outward in compassionate generosity. The Lord called on Israel to show its love by not oppressing aliens, not wronging weak orphans and defenseless widows, and not extorting the poor by demanding interest on loans. No less is asked of those who have received the Holy Spirit and live in community with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That’s us. Love one another.

RIFLESSIONI SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica: Matteo 22: 34-40
I farisei vivevano per meditare la legge, per capirla, per interpretarla. Alcuni sono riusciti a capire Gesù Cristo che ha detto a uno di loro che non era lontano dal regno dei cieli (Mc 12,34). E un altro fariseo, Paolo di Tarso, riuscì ad essere l’apostolo dei gentili. Ma tanti tra di loro, al contrario, rifiutavano il giovane Rabbi di Nazaret, e lo hanno messo a morte sulla croce... Interpretando la legge, i farisei ottenevano una casistica minuziosa che rendeva il giogo della legge insopportabile. Ed è per questo che non potevano capire Gesù che, secondo loro, infrangeva il riposo del sabato guarendo i malati il sabato, e anche dicendo che il Figlio dell’uomo era padrone del sabato e che questo giorno, così importante, era stato fatto per l’uomo, e non il contrario... (Mt 12,8;; Mc 2,27). Gesù disfa il repertorio molto complicato dei precetti, e lo riassume nell’amore di Dio e del prossimo sopra tutto. Egli considera che questo è il primo comandamento, da cui tutti gli altri derivano... Di fronte a queste parole non possiamo fare altro che rivedere la nostra condotta, riconoscere i nostri errori e proporci in modo concreto di vivere per amore, di morire per amore. Vivere la parola Di Dio
L’amore è risposta a una chiamata, è un cambiamento di vita che scaturisce dal sentirsi amati. Per sentirmi amato devo dare tempo alla fonte di quest’amore. Il segno che oggi l’ho fatto è che desidero riversare quest’amore ricevuto su qualcuno che ne ha bisogno. Living God’s Words
It is difficult to love, especially when we have been hurt by others. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring you the “fire of God’s love.” Call on the Spirit to deepen your awareness of God’s love for you, shown by giving us life and the gifts of faith, hope, and love.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Mateo 22: 34-40
En un artículo sobre “La vejez bien llevada” (Successful aging: New Theology Review, noviembre, 2010), el doctor Lawrence M. Lenoir propone que el arte de dar y recibir amor es central para llevar los años de la vejez con dignidad. Las investigaciones demuestran que ser parte de una relación cariñosa tranquiliza los demonios de la depresión y la desesperación. Así es que, si quieres mantenerte saludable, sé cariñoso. Jesús estaría de acuerdo. Los rabinos de la época de Jesús discutían acerca de cuál era el mandamiento más importante entre los seiscientos trece que había en la Torá. Cuando los fariseos le preguntaron a Jesús, él respondió que lo que más deseaba Dios de su pueblo escogido, que había sido liberado de la esclavitud para vivir en una relación de alianza, era corresponder al amor que Dios les demostraba. El amor tiene dos caras: amar a Dios totalmente y amarnos los unos a los otros como nos amamos a nosotros mismos. Amar es una actividad contagiosa. Si te aman, tiendes a demostrar amor. Pablo toca esta nota cuando le escribe a los tesalonicenses acerca de cómo ellos se convirtieron en imitadores de él y de sus compañeros evangelizadores Timoteo y Silvano. Y sobre todo se convirtieron en imitadores del mismo Señor, pues recibieron la palabra y viven la fe con alegría y amor mutuo, por creer en el amor que Dios les tiene y que se manifiesta en Cristo. Nuestro amor debe derramarse hacia el exterior con una generosidad compasiva. El Señor le pidió a Israel que demostrara su amor al no oprimir al extranjero, no tratar injustamente a los huérfanos y a las viudas y no chantajear a los pobres demandando intereses en los préstamos. No se les pide menos a aquellas personas que han recibido el Espíritu Santo y viven en comunidad con el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Esas personas somos nosotros. Amémonos los unos a los otros.
Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
Amar es difícil, sobre todo cuando nos han herido. Pídele al Espíritu Santo que te conceda “el fuego del amor de Dios”. Recurre al Espíritu para que te haga más profundamente consciente del amor de Dios por ti, que te ha demostrado al darte la vida y los dones de la fe, la esperanza y el amor.
