Parish of the Precious Blood
October 29, 2017
www.theppb.org
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." 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.

"Making Disciples of All Children"
We are all here on Earth to spread God’s Good News. How are
we to do this? The Parish of the Precious Blood Youth Ministry
is currently raising money in order to send teens to events such
as EPIC, LEAD, Steubenville Conferences, and World Youth
Day where they can encounter Christ in a personal way, spend
time with other Catholic teens, and to come back to our Parish
with new knowledge of their faith and an ability to spread the
Good News with their communities. You have the opportunity to
invest in and nurture their spiritual journey. Help us to invest in
the “whole child” by making a donation. See donation amounts
and payment form in your pew or by contacting the Parish Office
at 498-2536. Thank you!
