Lectio: Mt 22.34-40

“The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” Mt 22.40

“O God, we tend to make things complicated; yet You make it simple for us to know what You want of us.

I remember Jesus told a scholar of the law that all the prophets and all the law depended on love of God and love of our neighbor as our self - how simple and understandable!

Grant that I may in all things do what love requires knowing this is pleasing to You.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on the “God’s Will” - expressed by the many prophets, enshrined in His laws and in the teachings of Jesus; summed up in one word, “love.” Pray for the grace to love God and others selflessly and generously.

Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 13.10-17
