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.

Sadly, one of the most difficult reforms of the Second Vatican Council for the
Church to embrace has been one of the most thorough and beautiful: the sacrament of
penance. Because it is individual and private, it has been difficult for the changes to
take root. Sometimes a priest may be grounded in the earlier form, and at other times
the penitent may resist the priest’s attempt to blend in the proper texts and rituals.
Perhaps because the new form is almost identical in structure to the old, it has been
difficult to institute. It may also be true that with the liturgy in English now, it is far
more clear that the Eucharist, too, is a “sacrament of reconciliation.”
It is certainly true that there are different skills and gifts in ministry, and experienced penitents know that not all priests are equally at ease in this sacramental encounter. Sometimes a difficult experience can drive people away from a liturgy that is spiritually rich and rewarding. Yet we know that one bad meal seldom puts people off restaurants forever: the dinner gong tends to dispel bad memories, and so we try again. Individual confession and absolution is for us both treasure and tradition. If you haven’t
been for a while, consider coming back to praise God for this gift of mercy.

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.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En tiempos pasados, cuando los fieles latinoamericanos se enfermaban gravemente se mandaba traer al
sacerdote para que le administrara los “santos óleos” o la “extremaunción”. Nadie quería ver a un sacerdote
acércasele con los óleos porque significaba que uno estaba por morir.
Gracias a Dios, las reformas del Concilio Vaticano II han regresado al sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos su sentido original. Este sacramento es celebrado para todos los que tengan alguna enfermedad seria,
aunque no sea de muerte. El sacramento es para pedir consuelo para el enfermo y si es voluntad de Dios, la
salud. Este sacramento no debe ser reservado para preparar al paciente para la muerte.
Santiago, en su carta a los cristianos, nos dice que si uno de nosotros está enfermo que llame al presbítero
de la Iglesia para que lo unja con óleo o aceite santo. Y añade que la oración hecha con fe perdonará los pecados del enfermo y lo sanará para que recupere su vida cotidiana. Este sacramento, como todos los sacramentos, son para la vida, tanto la vida cotidiana como lo vida eterna.
