About Us

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Excuses, Excuses

As the saying goes, ignorance of the law is no excuse. That is what Moses is telling the people in the first reading. The laws of God are not difficult to understand. Anyone with a conscience should be able to live with them. By the time of Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees had added many more laws. The scholar who questioned Jesus about eternal life knew what was important: loving God with all your being and loving your neighbor as yourself. If he had stopped there, he would have been all right. But by asking “Who is my neighbor?” he implied that there are limits to love. Even today, we find people making excuses for not doing what God asks of us. We judge people who need help, saying they choose to be poor or homeless. We sign our kids up for so many sports that we don’t even go to church on Sundays. Before you start beating yourself up with guilt, remember that God expects us to take care of our families, to spend time with our children, and even to take time to rest and relax. If we are willing to look at our lives and bring them to God, asking for guidance, we are making the first steps to keep God’s law of love.

Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Excusas, excusas

Como dice el refrán, la ignorancia de la ley no es excusa. Eso es lo que Moisés le dice al pueblo en la primera lectura. Las leyes de Dios no son difíciles de entender. Cualquiera que tenga conciencia debería poder vivirlas. En la época de Jesús, los escribas y fariseos habían añadido muchas más leyes. El erudito que le preguntó a Jesús sobre la vida eterna sabía lo que era importante: amar a Dios con todo tu ser y amar al prójimo como a ti mismo. Si se hubiera detenido allí, habría estado bien. Pero al preguntar “¿Y quién es mi prójimo?”, dio a entender que el amor tiene límites. Incluso hoy, encontramos personas que ponen excusas para no hacer lo que Dios nos pide. Juzgamos a las personas que necesitan ayuda, diciendo que eligen ser pobres o estar sin hogar. Inscribimos a nuestros hijos en tantos deportes que ni siquiera vamos a la iglesia los domingos. Antes de que empieces a sentirte culpable, recuerda que Dios espera que cuidemos de nuestras familias, que pasemos tiempo con nuestros hijos e incluso que nos tomemos tiempo para descansar y relajarnos. Si estamos dispuestos a mirar nuestras vidas y llevarlas a Dios, pidiendo guía, estamos dando los primeros pasos para guardar la ley de amor de Dios.

Only love makes way for unity, which is the fruit of God’s action. For a Christian, having enemies is forbidden. We must love all people, not just those who think like me, or practice the same faith as me. The important thing here is to ask myself what makes me the master of my heart. Or even better, what allows the Lord to be the master of my heart? Is it love or hatred? If, despite wanting to forgive, I cannot do it because I have been a victim of terror or hatred, then I need to ask that question: Who is the master of my heart? Love offers something new to us: to include the enemy, so that it is not hate or revenge that has the last word. In the reign of the Holy Spirit, evil is never the end.
