To Love Is To Give All
Last week, Jesus reaffirmed the priority of the two commandments of love. And to love as Jesus teaches is to love with all that we are and have.
Today, we witness the poor widow’s sacrificing love – in giving “her livelihood.”
Moreover, Jesus is now already in Jerusalem. In a few days, Jesus himself would give the ultimate gift of love – the gift of his very life on the cross (we also hear this in today’s 2nd reading).
“No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13).
See how Jesus loves us!
In the US, this week is Vocation Awareness Week. Let’s pray that we may see our vocations as God’s gift of love to help us love as Jesus loves. And may young people embrace God’s vocation for them as such.
