LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOUR
The liturgy of the Word invites us to reflect about love, to understand its true meaning and to love God and neighbour with a sincere love. The First Reading portrays certain expressions of love: justice for all, compassion towards the helpless and kindness towards the poor. The Second Reading reveals the Thessalonian community as example of love of God manifested in receiving the Word with the joy of the Holy Spirit, abandoning idols and embracing the true God; their examples help others to strengthen their love for God and neighbour. In the Gospel, Jesus gives love of God and neighbour as the greatest commandment of the Law and invites all the listeners to love with all their being. Jesus is the embodiment of love and he gave expression to that love by dying on the cross to save humanity. For our failure to love God and others according to the commandment of God, we shall seek God’s forgiveness.
