THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY OF THE YEAR

The Two Great Commandments

Today's liturgy reminds us of one of the greatest truths in the Bible, namely, that there are really only two commandments. The first is to love God, and the second is to love our neighbour. They are not meant to be separated. But we often do separate them. We like to think that we are on good terms with God, yet how many of us can say that we are on good terms with all our neighbours? We speak to God when we pray, but do we speak to all our neighbours? Let us ask the Father to forgive us our failures to prove our love for him by loving all our brothers and sisters.
