Sunday October 25th: The Law of Love
First source report
The Diocese of Port of Spain published a reflection for Sunday, October 25, regarding the Gospel of Matthew 22:34-40.
The text states that Jesus presents the command to love God, neighbor, and oneself as the core of all law rather than a new regulation. The reflection notes that compassion, forgiveness, inclusivity, and diversity cannot be quantified or legislated. It suggests that attempting to legislate every aspect of life exhausts the law and misses its essential purpose.
The author connects the command to love with the human identity of being made in the image and likeness of God. According to the text, love of God and love of neighbor are inseparable, meaning love for God cannot be expressed without expressing love for neighbors, creation, and oneself.
