Gospel Reflections 31st Sunday November 4th 2018

What is your policy on…?

If you had the chance, what question would you ask a politician running in this year’s election? Would you ask about immigration, or the economy, or education, or healthcare, or about foreign policy? I am sure you would have good questions, but perhaps you might also wonder, “Would I believe the answer!”

What every politician says is important, and as good citizens we should know their policies well, but perhaps assessing their credibility is more difficult to know. While it is hard to understand all issues well, I think it is more important to know a politician’s credibility. We may not understand their answer but can we trust and believe the person saying it?

Unfortunately, we do not have a “credibility machine” that we can hook up to candidates to measure their honesty accurately. That would certainly save a lot of time!

One person walks up to Jesus in today’s Gospel to ask his policy on the most important issue of his day (and our day as well). “What does God want me to do?” With remarkable clarity and wisdom, Jesus instantly summarizes thousands of Old Testament laws, as well as the Ten Commandments, into two easy-to-remember policies: Love God with everything you have, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

This is a policy that we can support and from a person that has perfect credibility and integrity. We may not understand His answer well but we can certainly trust that Jesus is from God.

Therefore I will support any politician that comes closest to Our Lord’s policy and integrity as well.

We believe that our Catholic faith is the fullest revelation of what God intended for our happiness and closest to the way that God designed for our fulfillment. Any politician or policy that makes this happi-ness as God designed easier for us …well, I’m for it!

We also believe that Catholics are responsible citizens with some-thing good and helpful to say to our society, and so we never miss a chance to vote. We do not have much room to complain afterwards if we have not voted.

Our national founding document, the Declaration of Independence, affirms that our right to speak and vote in political affairs derives directly from God, and not from any person or government. We are good Catholics when we speak our mind through our vote.

God bless!

Safeguard the Children DID YOU KNOW?

Teach children gratitude

Gratitude is one of life’s greatest virtues. Teaching chil-dren to recognize the many blessings in their lives helps to teach them to have grateful hearts. Modeling gratitude in your home can help your child learn what to value and be grateful for, and learn to avoid the things that are not valuable or worthy of their time and interest.
