SUMMARY:Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:THE GREATNESS OF GOD’S LOVE\nFrom a commentary by St Caesarius of Arles1\n◊◊◊\nIn today’s gospel\, beloved\, we heard the exhortation to repent\, for the\nkingdom of heaven is at hand. Now the kingdom of heaven is Christ\, who\, as we\nknow\, is the judge of good and evil and scrutinizes the motives for all our\nactions. We should therefore do well to forestall God’s judgment by freely\nacknowledging our sins and correcting our wrongheaded attitudes; for by\nfailing to seek out the needful remedies and apply them\, we place ourselves in\ndanger. And our knowledge that we have to account for the motives behind our\nshortcomings makes the need for such a change of heart even greater. \nWe must recognize the greatness of God’s love for us; so generous is it\nthat he is willing to be appeased by the amends we make for our evil deeds\,\nprovided only that we freely admit them before he has himself condemned\nthem. And though his judgments are always just\, he gives us a warning before\nhe passes them\, so as not to be compelled to apply the full rigor of his justice. It\nis not for nothing that our God draws floods of tears from us; he does so to incite\nus to recover by penance and a change of heart what we had previously let slip\nthrough carelessness. God is well aware that human judgment is often at fault\,\nthat we are prone to fleshly sins and deceitful speech. He therefore shows us the\nway of repentance\, by which we can compensate for damage done and atone for\nour faults. And so to be sure of obtaining forgiveness\, we ought to be always\nbewailing our guilt. Yet no matter how many wounds our human nature has\nsustained\, we are never justified in giving ourselves over to despair\, for our Lord\nis magnanimous enough to pour out his compassion abundantly on all who\nneed it. \nBut perhaps one of you will say: “What have I to fear? I have never done\nanything wrong.” On this point hear what the apostle John says: If we claim to\nbe sinless\, we deceive ourselves and are blind to the truth. So let no one lead\nyou astray; the most pernicious kind of sin is the failure to recognize one’s own\nsinfulness. Once let wrongdoers admit their guilt and repent of it\, and this\nchange of heart will bring about their reconciliation with the Lord; but no sinner\nis more in need of the tears of others than the one who thinks he has nothing to\nweep for. So I implore you\, beloved\, to follow the advice given you by the holy\nScripture and humble yourselves beneath the all-powerful hand of God. \nAs none of us can be wholly free from sin\, so let none of us fail to make\namends; here too we do ourselves great harm if we presume our own innocence.\nIt may be that some are less guilty than others\, but no one is entirely free from\nfault; there may be degrees of guilt\, but no one can escape it altogether. Let\nthose then whose offenses are more grievous be more earnest in seeking\npardon; and let those who have so far escaped contamination by the more\nheinous crimes pray that they may never be defiled by them…. \n1\nJourney with the Fathers – Year B – New City Press – 1999 – pg 74-75.
