Archbishop Oscar Aparicio delivers homily in Cochabamba

Archbishop Oscar Aparicio of the Archdiocese of Cochabamba told the faithful that love for God must be expressed through justice, reconciliation, and care for vulnerable people. During a homily, the archbishop stated that those who claim to love God cannot stop loving their neighbors.

Aparicio explained that the commandment to love God requires a person to commit their affections, intelligence, abilities, and material resources. He noted that the believer's response to God begins with the recognition of being loved by a merciful Father.

The archbishop encouraged the community to demonstrate their faith through concrete actions, including family responsibility and the welcoming of foreigners. He described the Sunday Eucharist as an act of thanksgiving for the love received from God.
