On this Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we read the following Gospel passage:
“When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking, ‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments’” (Matthew 22: 34-40).
This is sometimes called The Triple Love Commandment. Some people make the mistake that there are only two commandments because there are only two sentences. But if we look at the second sentence, we realize there are two commandments here: love of others and love of self. So, the triple love command is to love God, others, and self.
To love is not necessarily an emotional experience. To love doesn’t mean we need to “like” another. Rather, it means we are to wish the best for others and ourselves. That is why Catholic Christians pray for the salvation of all people – past, present, and future – for nothing indicates love more than eternal salvation.
