FOCUSSING THE GOSPEL
In today’s gospel, Jesus “synthesizes” his entire Mosaic law into the one “Great Commandment.” The Jews knew these two commandments well. To this day, observant Jews twice daily pray the Shema: to love God “with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.” The word shema means “hear,” from the first words of the prayer, “Hear, O Israel…” The text for the Shema, which is also inscribed in the mezuzah, the small container affixed to the door of every observant Jewish home, is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (today's first reading). The book of Leviticus outlined in great detail a Jew’s ethical and moral responsibility to “love” one’s neighbour. But Jesus is the first to weave these two ideas into a single commandment: “There is no other commandment greater than these.” The only way we can adequately express our love for God is in the love we extend to our neighbour; to do so is the beginning of the kingdom of God.

PRAYING FOR THE HOLY SOULS
A number of spiritual practices that were very common in the past have been neglected in recent decades. As belief in the doctrine of Purgatory has waned, fewer people pray for the holy souls - those who died in a state of grace, but without having fully atoned for their sins. And far fewer people engage in the practice of offering it up - offering up our daily sufferings, toil, and stress for the good of these souls in Purgatory.
Truthfully, the Church invites us to pray for the dead every day, offering also our sufferings and difficulties that they, once completely purified, might be ad-mitted to enjoy the light and peace of the Lord for all eternity.
When we offer up our daily sufferings, we benefit, too, because we learn better to cope with the challenges of our daily life. Whenever we find ourselves in a bad situation, we should remind ourselves that we're offering it up for the Holy Souls, because the merit of our offering increases when we cope with the situa-tion with Christian charity, humility, and patience.
Children, too, can learn to offer it up and they're often eager to do so, especially if they can offer up the trials of childhood for a beloved grandparent or other relative or friend who has died. It's a good way to remind them that, as Chris-tians, we believe in life after death and that, in a very real sense, the souls of the dead are still with us. That's what the Communion of Saints that we refer to in the Apostles' Creed (and every other Christian creed) means.
In the most general sense, any prayer or intention to "offer it up" is sufficient. Simply stop at a moment of stress, or as you enter into a situation that you know will be stressful, make the Sign of the Cross and say something like: O Jesus, I offer up my struggles and sacrifices today for the relief of the Ho-ly Souls in Purgatory.
A better way, though, is to memorize the Morning Offering (or to keep a copy of it near your bed) and to say it when you first wake up. Traditionally, the Morning Offering, along with the Our Father and the Act of Faith, the Act of Hope, and the Act of Charity, were the centerpieces of Catholic morning pray-ers. In the Morning Offering, we dedicate our entire day to God, and we prom-ise to offer up our sufferings throughout the day for the souls in Purgatory.

BREAKTHROUGH THE REASONS FOR THOSE ARGUMENTS
Couples often notice that when arguments arise, they are typically the same arguments that have occurred before, just set on re-peat! Why is that? Conflict and hurt feelings are normal aspects of married life but what isn’t normal, or at least need not be so, is remaining gridlocked in stale and unhelpful patterns of relating. And there is a lot that can be done even by just one of the spouses if he or she is able to understand the dynamic of their relationship and the emotional needs that are driving their arguments, so that they can resolve their internal distress. Then, they are in a better space to address the relationship conflicts with confidence and calm. SmartLoving BreakThrough Online is a three-hour workshop run by the Marriage Resource Centre for people needing intervention to break through a cycle of negativity in their marriage. It’s also effective for people in stable marriages who feel disconnected from their spouse and feel frustrated and uncertain about how to improve things. The workshops are based on current research and Catholic theology and focus on skills-building. Participants may attend with their spouse or alone. Feedback has been extremely positive. One participant is grateful for the “structured approach to deal with conflict and move to a more positive relationship” with his wife. “We were definitely in gridlock before coming here but I now have some new skills and feel positive and peaceful.” For more information or for upcoming BreakThrough workshops dates and locations, visit www.SmartLoving.org/breakthrough
