Weekly Reflections for the 7th Sunday of Ordinary Time. C. Feb 23
Are there levels of love? Are we to love one set of people more than others? Recently, Pope Francis defined Christian love very clearly:
“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups. In other words: the human person is not a mere individual, relatively expansive, with some philanthropic feelings! … We discover true ordo amoris by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception.”
We are to love all human beings, without exception, and without privilege. We may not like what someone says or does and we can even reject those things. But we are to love one another, children of God, as Jesus loves all of us — with faith and hope and compassion.
This week, may our love as Christians be an ever expanding gift to all we meet,
