Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 19 2017
7th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Leviticus 191-217-18 Ps 103 1 Cor 316-23 Matthew 538-48)
John Craghan ThD SSL
Sometimes our interaction with people becomes
more business than charity We do for others only what they
have done for us If we have been wronged then revenge is
sought It is a challenge to give love without IOUs Todays
readings are a call to act out of love and respect because that
is the manner of our God
The first reading is from a document known as the
Holiness Code (Leviticus Chapters 17-26) The name comes
from the repetition of phrases like You shall be holy for I
the LORD your God am holy (Leviticus 192) The theme
of this document is that Israel as Yahwehs covenant
people is to distinguish itself from all the other nations by
reflecting Yahwehs holiness This means correcting a
wayward member when necessary but avoiding grudges and
revenge
The responsorial Psalm 103 is a psalm of praise
and thanksgiving that announces Gods goodness to the
psalmist and Gods ongoing concern for Israel Compassion
is the hallmark of Gods covenantal loyalty The root for
compassion and merciful is the Hebrew word for
womb Thus it is Mother Yahweh who provides for her
children
In his Sermon on the Mount Jesus rejects behavior
that is based solely on IOUs Human legal systems (going to
court) and checks and balances (a slap for a slap) are no
longer acceptable Jesus urges renouncing ones right to
demand strict claims he encourages walking the extra mile
Limits on love are not in keeping with the unconditional
love of God who sends sun and rain on both the just and the
unjust
At home on the job and in our circle of friends we
constantly experience the challenge of the Christian life To
show love when love is not returned to practice justice
when everyone else acts dishonestly and to be
compassionate when compassion does not well up
automatically -- these are all occasions when the theory is
truly tested

ldquoWhoever keeps the word of Christ the love of God is truly perfected in himrdquo
(1 Jn 25)
