Year A: 30th Sunday Ordinary Time (Matthew 22: 34-40) - Presentation Transcript
Matthew 22: 34-40
“ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”
“ You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Loving God and loving neighbors are two aspects of the same commandment to love.
Our foremost duty is to love God with our entire selves. This love of God should be expressed in the way we love our neighbors.
We need to love others with as much concern as we have for ourselves.
Loving God does not simply mean going to church, reciting prayers or kneeling on one's knees.
To love God completely is to show care and concern for the poor and the powerless.

When the Pharisees hear more
READING: Matthew 22: 34-40
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. ‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ 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.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’ less
