“You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.”~ Matthew 22:37
“Amaras al Señor, tu Dios,
Con todo tu corazón,
Con toda tu alma
Y con toda tu mente”.
~Mateo 22 :37
LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION
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.
EL AMOR ESTÁ EN LA ACCIÓN
¿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.
