The law of love. That's what Jesus came to establish. In a religious milieu that was often marked by legalism and scrupulosity, Jesus brought a kind of freedom. He reminded us that the laws of religion are made to serve the ultimate goal of love: love for God and love for neighbor. Think about the Ten Commandments. This classical summary of God's rules for us can be divided into two types of laws. First come the laws about loving God: have no strange gods; don't take the Lord's name in vain; honor the Sabbath. Then come the laws about loving our neighbor: honor your parents; don't kill; don't commit adultery; don't steal; be honest; and don't covet your neighbor's spouse or property. When we follow the law of love that Jesus preaches today, all of this is taken care of. If we loved God with our whole heart, mind, and soul, for example, there would be no room left for false gods. There would be no bitterness or apathy leading us to disrespect God's name or to fail to worship him as he has asked. Similarly, if we loved our neighbors as ourselves by following the Golden Rule, then we would naturally respect them instead of lying, killing, coveting, or the like. Ultimately, all the dos and don'ts of the law are just specific guidelines describing what love looks like. This is very helpful for those times when love doesn't come so easily to us. When we struggle with having our heart in the right place, the Ten Commandments give us direction. But as Jesus instructs us today, the goal is to grow in the kind of love that naturally leads us to want to do what's best. ©2014 Liturgical Publications Inc. Deacon Corner: Our salvation is not a one-time ordeal where make a promise to God at one point in our lives. Life is a process and so is our salvation. When we receive the Eucharist we are receiving Jesus, God. In doing so we are making that commitment each time to live out our end of the bargain. By God’s gift of free will to us we always have the opportunity to choose to fall away from God through sin and we need his grace and strength to maintain our relationship with him. By receiving the Eucharist at least once a week and making that promise to love God and obey him we are receiving the grace necessary to do God’s will. We grow in faith each time we receive. An analogous example is marriage. The ideal marital relationship is modeled after God’s relationship with his people. The two parties in marriage give themselves mutually exclusively to each other and promise to make self-sacrifices to support the other person. Likewise we make whole our relationship with God through the Eucharist by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. We are renewing that covenant. We do it over and over and over again to renew ourselves and grow our relationship with God. Most ordinary people honestly cannot say that if they are married they will only celebrate with their spouse once a year, on their anniversary. Likewise we continually renew our covenant with God through the Mass weekly, not once or twice a year. Worship Corner: Standing for the Gospel. Because of the unique presence of Christ in the proclamation of the Gospel, it has long been the custom to stand in attentive reverence to hear these words. We believe that Christ “is present in his word, since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the church” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, #7). The priest or deacon will again greet us with “The Lord be with you.” He then introduces the Gospel reading while marking a small cross on his forehead, lips and heart with his thumb while praying silently that God cleans his mind and his heart so that his lips may worthily proclaim the Gospel. In many places, the congregation performs this ritual action along with the priest. The Gospel reading concludes with the ritual formula “The Gospel of proclaiming our faith in the Real Presence of Christ in the Word. Then we sit for the homily. *************************************************************** CHRISTIAN FORMATION After-L.I.F.E.

YOUTH / YOUNG ADULTS EDGE & LIFETEEN This week at EDGE/LIFETEEN we began our semester on the Mass by talking about the necessity of worship. Every person has been created in the image and likeness of God, and God has given each person a desire and drive to want to worship and be in relationship with God. This desire can become distorted through sin, and we can begin to worship things other than God. When this happens, our view on God, religion, and ourselves can become distorted. The teens learned that, as humans, we cannot reach God through human inventions of worship. God must teach us how to properly worship God, and this was done through Jesus Christ and the institution of the Mass. We challenged our teens to identify areas in their life where they worshipped something other than God and to place God in those areas. Our next EDGE/LIFETEEN session will be held on Monday, October 27th. Search: St. Augustine Lifeteen (Lifeteen all one word).

REFLEXIONES 30o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario El domingo pasado Jesús fue puesto a prueba respecto al dinero de los impuestos. Hoy, nos dice la palabra de Dios que mucha gente le escuchaba y se asombraba de sus enseñanzas. Sin embargo, una vez más los fariseos se reunieron para hacerle la siguiente pregunta: "Maestro, ¿cuál es el mandamiento más grande de la ley?" La respuesta de Jesús no se hizo esperar: "Amarás al señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con toda tu mente". Único y gran mandamiento, pero hay otro muy parecido. "Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo". Todos sabemos que la ley y los profetas tienen su base en estos dos mandamientos. Y ¿ahora cuál es la ley, cuál el mandamiento? El Papa Francisco, en la audiencia general del 12 de junio de 2013, nos lo clarifica para nuestros tiempos "la ley del amor". "¿Cuál es la ley del pueblo de Dios? Es la ley del amor, amor a Dios y amor al prójimo según el mandamiento nuevo que nos dejó el Señor (cf. Jn 13, 34). Un amor, sin embargo, que no es estéril sentimentalismo o algo vago, sino que es reconocer a Dios como único Señor de la vida y, al mismo tiempo, acoger al otro como verdadero hermano, superando divisiones, rivalidades, incomprensiones, egoísmos; las dos cosas van juntas. ¡Cuánto camino debemos recorrer aún para vivir en concreto esta nueva ley!" ¿Con que batallamos más, amando a Dios o amando al vecino? ¿Qué es lo que Dios nos llama a hacer? ©2014 Liturgical Publications Inc.
