[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Re: A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

*Friends, our Gospel for today features the Word of God himself telling us
what stands at the heart of the law. A scribe posed, as a kind of game, the
following question: "Which is the first of all the commandments?" There
were hundreds of laws in the Jewish system. So it was a favorite exercise
of the rabbis to seek out the single rule that somehow clarified the whole
of the law. So Jesus gives his famous answer: "You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with
all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as
yourself."What does that mean? The law is finally about love, and the love
of God and neighbor are inextricably bound to one another. If we love God
but hate our neighbors, we’re wasting our time. Why are the two loves so
tightly connected? Because of who Jesus is. Jesus is not just a human
being, and he is not just God. He is the God-man, the one in whom divinity
and humanity come together. Therefore, it’s impossible to love him as God
without loving the humanity that he’s created and embraced. Reflect: What
restrictions, if any, do you put on your love for God or for neighbor? *
