SUMMARY:Vigils Reading  - 31st Sunday
DESCRIPTION:OUR REASON FOR LOVING \nFrom a commentary by St Francis de Sales1 \n◊◊◊ \nBecause God created us in is own image and likeness\, he ordained that our \nlove for one another should be in the image and likeness of the love we owe him\, \nour God. He said: You must love the Lord our God with your whole heart. This \nis the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it. You must love \nyour neighbor as yourself. \nWhat is our reason for loving God? God himself is the reason we love him; \nwe love him because he is the supreme and infinite goodness. What is our \nreason for loving ourselves? Surely because we are the image and likeness of \nGod. And since all men and women possess this same dignity we love them as \nourselves\, that is\, as holy and living images of the Godhead. It is as such that we \nbelong to God through a kinship so close and a dependence so lovable that he \ndoes not hesitate to call himself our Father\, and to name us his children. It is as \nsuch that we are capable of being united to him in the fruition of his sovereign \ngoodness and joy. It is as such that we receive his grace and that our spirits are \nassociated with his most Holy Spirit and rendered\, in a sense\, sharers in the \ndivine nature. \nSo it is then that the same charity produces together acts of love of God \nand of our neighbor. As Jacob saw that the same ladder touching heaven and \nearth was used by the angels both for ascending and descending\, so we can be \nsure that the same charity cherishes both God and our neighbor\, raising us even \nto spiritual union with God\, and bringing us back to loving companionship with \nour neighbors. \nIt must always be understood\, however\, that we love our neighbors for \nthis reason\, that they are made in the image and likeness of God\, created to \ncommunicate in his goodness\, share in his grace\, and rejoice in his glory. \nTo have a Christian love for our neighbors is to love God in them\, or them \nin God; it is to cherish God alone for his own sake\, and his creatures for love of \nhim. When we look upon our neighbors\, created in the image and likeness of \nGod\, should we not also say to each other: “Look at these people he has made – \nare they not like their maker?” Should we not be drawn irresistibly toward \nthem\, embrace them\, and be moved to tears for love of them? Should we not call \ndown upon them a hundred blessings? And why? For love of them? No indeed\, \nsince we cannot be sure whether\, of themselves\, they are worthy of love or hate. \nThen why? For love of God\, who created them in his own image and likeness\, \nand so capable of sharing in his goodness\, grace\, and glory; for love of God\, I say\, \nunto whom they exist\, for whom they exist\, through whom they exist\, for whom \nthey exist\, and whom they resemble in a very special manner. \nThis is why divine Love not only repeatedly commands us to love our \nneighbors\, but also itself produces this love and pours it out into our hearts\, \nsince they bear its own image and likeness; for just as we are the image of God\, \nso our holy love for one another is the true image of our heavenly love for God.
