SUMMARY:30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
DESCRIPTION:A reading from\nST AUGUSTINE 1\n◊◊◊\nI know\, beloved\, how well fed you are every day by the exhortations of\nHoly Scripture\, and what nourishment your hearts find in the word of God.\nNevertheless the affection we have for one another compels me to say\nsomething to you\, beloved\, about love. To speak about love there is no need to\nselect some special passage from Scripture to serve as a text for the homily; open\nthe Bible at any page and you will find it extolling love. \nWe know this is so from the Lord himself\, as the gospel reminds us\, for\nwhen asked: what were the most important commandments of the law\, he\nanswered: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart\, and with all\nyour soul\, and with all your mind; and you shall love your neighbor as\nyourself. And then\, just in case you might be tempted to search further through\nthe pages of Holy Scripture for some commandments other than these two\, he\nadded: The entire law and the prophets also depend upon these two\ncommandments. If the entire law and the prophets depend upon these two\ncommandments\, how much more must the gospel do so? \nPeople are renewed by love. As sinful desire ages them\, so love\nrejuvenates them. Enmeshed in the toils of his desires the psalmist laments: I\nhave grown old surrounded by my enemies. Love\, on the other hand\, is the sign\nof our renewal from the Lord’s own words: I give you a new commandment –\nlove one another. \nEven in former times there were people who loved God without thought of\nreward\, and whose hearts were purified by their chaste longing for him. They\ndrew back the veils obscuring the ancient promises\, and caught a glimpse\nthrough these figures of a new covenant to come. They saw that all the precepts\nand promises of the old covenant\, geared to the capacities of an unregenerate\npeople\, prefigured a new covenant which the Lord would bring to fulfillment in\nthe last age. The Apostle says this quite clearly: The things that happened to\nthem were symbolic\, and were recorded for us who are living in the last age. \nWhen the time for it came the new covenant began to be openly proclaimed\, and\nthese ancient figures were expounded and explained so that all might\nunderstand that the old covenant promises were pointed to the new covenant. \nAnd so love was present under the old covenant just as it is under the new\,\nthough then it was more hidden and fear was more apparent\, whereas now love\nis more clearly seen and fear is diminished. For as love grows stronger we feel\nmore secure\, and when our feeling of security is complete fear vanishes\, since\,\nas the apostle John declares: Perfect love casts out fear. \n1Journey with the Fathers – Year A – New City Press – NY -1999 – pg 136-137.
