October 23, 2011 Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

LOVE GOD AND NEIGHBOR

"Love God wholeheartedly and love your neighbor as yourself' is how Jesus sums up the whole law and the prophets. These vertical and horizontal loves are imaged in the cross of Christ Jesus, which binds all creation together and leads all creation to God. We receive the cross in baptism as a sign that we are servants of the living God, who raised his son from the dead so that Jesus might save us from sin and retribution. How do you bear your baptismal cross before humankind and before God?
