Indeed, St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “Nothing shows the truth of the gospel better than the love of those who believe” (Commentary on John 17.5). It is love that has the power to convince others of the truth of the message that Christians bear. But love can do this only if it is genuine, since we know that there are many counterfeit forms of love abroad in our world. So how do we know that our love is the kind of love that truly reveals God? Our first reading gives one clue. Godly love is always deeply concerned about the weak, the defenseless, the marginalized--those whom the Old Testament refers to as the anawim or “little ones.” These include the foreigner living among us, the widow, the orphan, and the poor, all of whom are the object of God’s passionate concern. So if our love is to be godly love, it must be a love that acts in such a way that the needs of these little ones are of paramount importance. Our second reading gives another clue. Paul speaks of how the Thessalonians “became imitators of us and of the Lord” both in their affliction and in their joy, and so “became a model for all the believers.” In other words, love that is genuine takes the suffering, joyful love of Christ and the saints as its model. Godly love not only cares for the vulnerable, but does so both at personal cost and joyfully. The task of discerning the path of genuine love is challenging, but in teaching us the importance of defending the defenseless and in providing us models of love to imitate, God helps us to stay on that path. God of love, help us to search out the path that truly leads to you by following the examples of love that you have given to us, above all the example of your Son, our Lord, Jesus. #417 St. Jerome YOUR WEEKLY GIFT TO GOD Sunday, October 19th: Regular Contributions $ 6,180 Weekly budget 10,525 Difference –4,345 Mission Sunday 500 Number of Registered Parishioners 2,000 Number of Envelopes Used -385 *Parishioners who need to use envelopes 1,615 Nine parishioners caught up with their donations. *Give to God with love by placing your gift inside the offering envelopes.
