The Pre-eminence of Love - St. Edward Catholic Church

February 23 , 2014
For us, Christ is everything. We
begin in each day in his presence.
We are his people, from many
walks of life, and from many
nations and languages. We
adore the Lord, address him with
the psalms of our ancestors and
enter the sacred Liturgy, the
source and summit in our life in
Christ. Through our Catechetical
programs we pass on the faith
both to adults and children,
training in holiness which calls us
to a Holy life distinguished above
all in the art of prayer. Rising from
prayer we minister to the needs of
those who ask our help, with food
and other assistance. We are the
people of St. Edward Catholic
Church in Newark, California.
Christ is everything. If you have a
wound to heal, he is the doctor; if
you are in need of help, he is
strength; if you fear death, he is
life; if you desire Heaven, he is
the way; if you are in the
darkness, he is light. Blessed are
they who hope in him!
Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Pre-eminence of Love
From a sermon by Blessed Isaac of Stella, abbot
Why, my brethren, are we so little concerned with finding
opportunities to advance each other’s salvation, responding to
greater need with greater help and bearing each other’s burdens?
This is what St Paul advised: Bear one another’s burdens and so
fulfil the law of Christ – or, again, forbearing each other in love.
For that is most definitely the law of Christ.
When I notice something wrong in my brother that cannot
be corrected – either because it is inevitable or because it comes
from some weakness of his in body or character – why do I not
bear it patiently and offer my willing sympathy? As scripture says,
their children will be carried on their shoulders and comforted on
their laps. Could it be because there is a lack in me, a lack of that
which bears all things and is patient enough to take up the
burden, a lack of the will to love?
This is what the law of Christ is like, of Christ who bore our
grief in his passion and carried our sorrows in his compassion for
us, loving those whom he carried and carrying those whom he
loved. On the other hand, whoever turns on his brother in the
brother’s time of need, who exploits his weakness, whatever that
weakness may be – without doubt he has subjected himself to the
law of Satan and is carrying it out. Let us have compassion for
each other and love the brotherhood we share, bear each other’s
weaknesses and fight against each other’s vices.
Whatever religious practice or observance it leads to, any
teaching or discipline that fosters a stronger love of God and,
through God, of our neighbors, is most acceptable to God for that
reason. This love is the reason why things should be or not be,
why they should remain the same or be changed. This love

should be the reason why things are and the
end to which all things are directed. For nothing
can be considered wrong that is truly directed
towards and according to that love.
Without such love we cannot be pleasing
to God, and without it we cannot achieve
anything at all. May God choose to grant it to
us, he who lives and reigns through the undying
ages. Amen!

BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS
MISSA DOMINGO VII DO TEMPO
COMUM
Comentário: Santidade! Perfeição! É o que nos pede
Jesus na liturgia deste domingo. Para começarmos a
refletir sobre o assunto, podemos fazer os seguintes
questionamentos: será que meus pais esperavam que eu
fosse um filho perfeito? Será que eles são ou eram
perfeitos? Eu espero ou exijo que meus filhos, meu
cônjuge, meus amigos e as pessoas com quem eu
convivo sejam perfeitas? E eu? Sou perfeito? Claro que
não! Ninguém é perfeito. Mas, afinal, se constatamos que
nós nem os outros são perfeitos, o que significa essa
ordem de Deus para sermos perfeitos?
Na verdade, a liturgia de hoje não fala da perfeição
humana, ou seja, aquela expectativa irrealista de uma
pessoa ser impecável, sem erros, com os próprios
esforços, o chamado pecado do perfeccionismo. No
Evangelho, Jesus é claro: “Sede perfeitos, como vosso
Pai celeste é perfeito”. Devemos ser perfeitos como
Deus. Mas será mesmo que Jesus quis dizer que nós
podemos realmente atingir a perfeição de Deus? Vamos
ver o que diz o contexto e descobrir.
Na primeira leitura de hoje, do livro do Levítico: “Sede
santos, porque eu, o Senhor vosso Deus, sou santo”.
Sim, devemos e podemos ser santos. Esta perfeição,
esta santidade, porém, se refere à consciência que
devemos ter de que Deus nos considera perfeitos, justos,
santos em Jesus Cristo e, por isso, vamos progredindo
na nossa caminhada espiritual. “Perfeição” no contexto
da liturgia de hoje é a busca constante da maturidade
espiritual, de pensar como Jesus pensava, de amar como
ele amava, observando e imitando as suas atitudes.
Sermos perfeitos como Deus seria uma coisa impossível.
Mas, o próprio Deus tornou essa realidade possível.
Jesus torna essa realidade possível quando ele se
dignou assumir a nossa humanidade para que nós
pudéssemos alcançar a sua divindade.
Jesus, o Cordeiro de Deus sem mancha, sem defeito
algum, tira o pecado do mundo e através do Batismo, nos
faz participantes da sua mesma vida divina. Há sim um
esforço da nossa parte que é justamente cooperar com
Deus para amadurecermos nele. Ser perfeito, ser santo,
é ser maduro espiritualmente, é crescer espiritualmente e
temos uma parte neste processo, que é justamente
deixar Deus agir em nós através de Jesus Cristo, fazendo
o que ele fez.
Seja qual for a definição, o livro do Levítico deixa claro
Missa Domingo VII Do Tempo Comum
que para sermos santos como Deus é santo, há que
amar o próximo. Assim, já existia o comando dado por
Deus de que devemos amar o nosso próximo como a nós
mesmos. Este não é um mandamento novo dado por
Jesus. Isto significava ser santo. Ser santo no original
hebraico significa “separado, diferente, único”. Cada um
devia amar, respeitar e ajudar ao próximo. No entanto, a
palavra “próximo”, no contexto hebraico é muito limitada.
“Próximo” na época em questão dizia respeito aos
familiares ou àqueles da mesma tribo. O povo hebreu era
convidado a cuidar e levar o bem-estar a seu próximo.
Na leitura do Evangelho de hoje, Jesus traz uma
novidade. Ele amplia esse significado. Depois de ter
recordado os valores que devem guiar o nosso
comportamento para com o próximo, de não se
encolerizar, não desejar a mulher do próximo, preservar a
própria união conjugal e dizer sempre a verdade, ele
apresenta ainda duas últimas antíteses, onde apresenta
critérios em base aos quais devemos responder ao mal
que sofremos: quando somos caluniados, ofendidos,
maltratados, traídos, feridos; como devemos nos
comportar para com os nossos “inimigos”!
Jesus explica que Deus não criou o mundo apenas para
os judeus, mas o sol nasce para todos – até mesmo para
as pessoas más. Assim, dando vários exemplos de
coisas que aconteciam no cotidiano das pessoas, ele diz
que precisamos amar sempre, não apenas os nossos
parentes e companheiros próximos, mas todo o mundo, e
tratar a todos como queremos ser tratados. Se amamos
apenas aqueles que nos amam, isto não é grande coisa,
pelo contrário, não há nenhuma novidade aqui. – Pe
Carlos Henrique Nascimento
