Group – today, September 6, is the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. In today’s Second Reading, St. Paul tells us:
The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery;
you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet, "
and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this saying, namely,
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself." - Romans 13:9
Right before, St. Paul writes:
"Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves has fulfilled the law." - Romans 13:8
Every commandment, every rule, every "should" in our life as Christians comes down to this one debt we can never fully repay: love.
Not a feeling, but a choice we make again and again — for our families, our neighbors, even the people who test our patience.
This week, is there a debt of love you've been putting off paying? A call to make, a grudge to release, a kindness to offer?
Maybe we should take time to fix that.
God Bless
