17th Sunday After Pentecost Reflection: The Greatest Commandment

Traditional Latin Mass Sunday Reflections

Join us for a reflection on the 17th Sunday After Pentecost as we explore Jesus' powerful answer to the question: "What is the greatest commandment?" When the Pharisees try to test Christ, He responds with a call to total love—loving God with our whole heart, soul, and mind, and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Drawing from the wisdom of Saints Augustine, Thérèse of Lisieux, Francis of Assisi, and John of the Cross, this reflection examines why these two commandments are inseparable and what it means to "bear with one another in love" in our daily lives. We'll discover how Saint Paul's call to unity in the Epistle connects with Christ's vision of love, and why true peace comes from letting God's love flow through us to those around us. Perfect for families seeking to understand how the Mass calls us to transform our relationships through authentic charity.
