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.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
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 insititute. 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.
