The Command to Love
Gospel : Matthew 22:34-40
OVERVIEW OF GOSPEL
Vince Contreras offers these points:
This Sunday’s Gospel reading finds Jesus again in Jerusalem during the week before his death. Between the time of last Sunday’s Gospel and this, he has just finished silencing the members of the religious group, the Sadducees, regarding a question about the Resurrection, a doctrine they did not believe in (Matthew 22:23-33).- An opposing religious party, the Pharisees, who considered Jesus a breaker of the Jewish Law (see Matthew 12:1-8, 9-14), now pose to him a question that was commonly asked all teachers of the Law: Which commandment—out of the possible 613 recognized precepts of the Law formulated by the rabbis—is the greatest?
- Jesus answers them—not out of the 613 precepts—but out of two of the Mosaic books of the Law (Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18), the first part of which is found in the shema, recited daily by faithful Jews (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
- For Jesus, love (charity) is the greatest theological law (Matthew 19:19; Romans 13:8-10; 1 Corinthians 13:13; Galatians 5:14; James 2:8; CCC §§ 1822-1824). The Gospel requires “faith(Deuteronomy 6:5) working though love (Leviticus 19:18)” (Galatians 5:6).

Out of all God’s commandments, Jesus was asked to pick the greatest one. He did, and it requires the most of us—heart, soul, and mind. Commitment means giving “your everything” just as God did for us with His Son. Watch this video to learn more about what it means to completely commit to God.

34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Why Catholics care about people living in povertyAdapted from an article by Sister Susan Rose Francois, C.S.J.P. in VISION Vocation Guide: http://www.vocationnetwork.org/articles/show/328.
Whether it's getting the oatmeal right in a soup kitchen or advocating to end global poverty, Catholics should and do care about those on the margins of society.
The Catholic faith calls us to live out a "preferential option for the poor and vulnerable." We must opt to act on behalf of people living in poverty and vulnerable situations and put their needs first.

Loving Your Neighbor | Teaching Kids to Be Kind
Douglas learns that the phrase "love your neighbor" means so much more than "don't hate your neighbor." Showing God's love should be more about what we do than what we don't do.
Douglas was going to be late for class, and his teacher is really strict about tardiness. He was running to class when he saw another kid drop his books. Instead of helping, he decided to run past him to make sure he wasn’t late. Douglas made it to class just in time, but the classmate he saw drop his books came in right after the bell rang, and got in trouble with the teacher. It wasn’t like Douglas hated that kid—he just decided to not help him. Was that good enough?

Douglas Talks about Love and the greatest commandment (and the second greatest commandment!) in this "no cooties allowed" episode of Douglas Talks.
It's Valentines day, a day when everyone is thinking about love. Douglas wants nothing to do with the "mushy stuff" when talking about love (he says cooties are no laughing matter), but love in an incredibly important subject in God's Word. Some people even call the Bible God's love letter to us. It is absolutely filled with verses about love. The Bible says that "God is Love," "God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son," "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay his life done for his friends," and so much more!

1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10
The faith of the Church, including that of Paul and the Thessalonian community, is based on Jesus, who died and was raised from the dead. In every aspect of his life, Paul strives to imitate the life pattern of Jesus. He rejoices that this pattern of imitation of Christ is continued in the Thessalonian church. Their faith has gone forth, transmitted from one person to another, from Thessalonica to other cities and regions, in a process that has continued for more than two millennia. Paul and his companions, along with the Thessalonians and other believers, transmit the faith by being living examples to others, maintaining joy and hope even in the midst of sufferin...
