BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH BETHESDA, MD 30 DOMINGO ORDINARIO 26 DE OCTUBRE DE 2014 El amor a Dios y al prójimo en el mismo nivel y con la misma importancia es la nueva directiva de Jesús, reemplazando al primitivo mandamiento principal que era el del amor a Dios. Amar a Dios con todo el corazón tiene un sentido estimativo o apreciativo. Dios es el valor absoluto. Tenemos que amar desde Él y ordenándolo todo hacia Él. Amar a Dios con toda el alma porque es la Verdad que perfecciona la inteligencia y el Amor que perfecciona la voluntad. Amar a Dios con todo nuestro ser, o sea, con nuestras palabras y obras. Amar al prójimo como a nosotros mismos, o sea, si buscamos nuestro bien espiritual y material, no podemos sentirnos ajenos a las necesidades espirituales y materiales de nuestros hermanos: la salvación de sus almas, la formación religiosa, los bienes de la educación, la vivienda digna, el salario justo, la alimentación y el vestido.
