Sunday Gospel Warm-up

Oct. 29, Mt 22:34-40 Law of Love

Sometimes the message is just too simple. Jesus wraps all of the Jewish law into one sentence: love God, love your neighbor, love yourself.

So simple and if we lived it, we would have heaven on earth. Our difficulty is we get hung up on who deserves our love. Sometimes that circle becomes very small and, accordingly, our love of God is equally small. Always, our challenge is to expand that circle of love.
