"For it is the nature of love, to love when it feels itself loved, and to love all things loved of its beloved. So when the soul has by degrees known the love of its Creator towards it, it loves Him, and, loving Him, loves all things whatsoever that God loves."
- St. Catherine of Siena
(Hence, the primacy of the first great commandment. Take time to love and be loved by God this
day.)

1 SM 16:1-13; PS 89:20, 21-22, 27-28; MK 2:23-28
R. I have found David, my servant.
Once you spoke in a vision,
and to your
faithful ones you said:
"On a champion I have placed a crown;
over the people I have set a youth."
"I have found David, my servant;
with my holy oil I have anointed him,
That my hand may be always with him,
and that my arm may make him strong."
"He shall say of me, 'You are my father,
my God, the Rock, my savior.'
And I will
make him the first-born,
highest of the kings of the earth." USCCB Lectionary

Reflection on the Scriptures |
Jesus was a perfect role model for placing rules and traditions in the perspective of God's long term plan for our salvation. With all the
conversations about sustainability these days, we need to look at what Jesus says about that topic. That exercise requires us to step outside of mainstream thinking.
