Matthew 22:37-38 37 and He Said To Matthew 22:37-38 37 And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38 "This is the great and foremost commandment. Matthew 22:39 39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' John 13:34-35 34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Matthew 28:19-20 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." LUKE 11:14-36 27 While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.“ 28 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it." 29 As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, "This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. 30 "For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 "The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32 "The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. LUKE 11:14-36 33 "No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 "The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 "Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness. 36 "If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays."

MARY IN THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH The Immaculate Conception Pius IX convened the First Vatican Council (1869–70), which decreed papal infallibility. The doctrine was not dogmatically defined until 1854, by Pope Pius IX in his papal bull Ineffabilis Deus.[1] Pius was a Marian pope, who in his encyclical Ubi primum described Mary as a Mediatrix of salvation. In 1854, he promulgated the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, articulating a long-held Catholic belief that Mary, the Mother of God, was conceived without original sin. 490 To become the mother of the Savior, Mary "was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role.“132 The angel Gabriel at the moment of the annunciation salutes her as "full of grace."133 In fact, in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by God's grace. 491 Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God,134 was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin.135 492 The "splendor of an entirely unique holiness" by which Mary is "enriched from the first instant of her conception" comes wholly from Christ: she is "redeemed, in a more exalted fashion, by reason of the merits of her Son."136 The Father blessed Mary more than any other created person "in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places" and chose her "in Christ before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love."137 493 The Fathers of the Eastern tradition call the Mother of God "the All-Holy" (Panagia), and celebrate her as "free from any stain of sin, as though fashioned by the Holy Spirit and formed as a new creature."138 By the grace of God Mary remained free of every personal sin her whole life long. By the twelfth century, the idea of the Immaculate Conception of Mary was widely accepted in the Roman Church, although there was still strong opposition to the belief. St. Thomas Aquinas especially objected that, "If the soul of the Blessed Virgin had never been stained with the contagion of original sin, this would have detracted from Christ's dignity as the savior of all men." Many others stood with him. Thomas recognized that if Mary were without sin, she would not need a Savior; the Bible would then be wrong in saying Jesus was the Savior of all men and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; there is none righteous, no not one." Thomas of Aquino'; 1225 – 7 March 1274 MARY IN THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Mary’s Obedience and Sinlessness "Let it be done to me according to your word … " 494 At the announcement that she would give birth to "the Son of the Most High" without knowing man, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary responded with the obedience of faith, certain that "with God nothing will be impossible": "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to your word."139 Thus, giving her consent to God's word, Mary becomes the mother of Jesus.

  • A New Commandment “Something New”
    A New Commandment “Something New” John 13:34-38 With the new year looming ahead, many people are thinking about new year’s resolutions. Some will try a new diet. Some will commit to getting out of debt. Others will start a new workout plan. Some will attempt to read through the Bible this year, or spend more time with family. The possibilities for new year’s resolutions are endless and probably most of the resolutions are good ideas. Unfortunately, many people will not follow through with their goals, but I believe that it is still good to set them. Someone said, “Aim at the stars. If you don’t hit them, you’ll land pretty high anyway.” Perhaps there are some who set a goal this past year and actually did it. If so, congratulations. I think it is good and important to set realistic goals for ourselves as the Lord leads. You might even ask Him in prayer if there is anything He wants you to do and then wait for His gentle prompting about what it is. This message focuses on something new, too. It focuses on an important truth that Jesus shared with His disciples almost two thousand years ago. It is just as applicable today as it was then. It begins in John 13:34. This new thing is not a workout program, diet, or Bible reading plan, but instead a way of treating fellow believers. It is what I challenge each of us with in the new year. Listen to Jesus’ words! 34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one 1 Copyright 2003 Chris Losey another.

Hays ___________________________ Laura S. Lieber An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2015 Copyright by Lori Ann Robinson Baron 2015 Abstract In John’s Gospel, Jesus does not cite the Shema as the greatest commandment in the Law as he does in the Synoptic Gospels (“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might” [Deut 6:4-5]; only Deut 6:5 appears in Matthew and Luke). This dissertation, however, argues that, rather than quoting the Shema , John incorporates it into his Christological portrait of Jesus’ unity with the Father and of the disciples’ unity with the Father, the Son, and one another. This study employs historical-critical methodology and literary analysis to provide an exegetical interpretation of the key passages relevant to the Shema in John (John 5:1-47; 8:31-59; 10:1-42; 13:34; 14, 15, 17).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See LETTER OF JOHN PAUL II TO THE BISHOP OF LIÈGE ON THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE RECOGNITION OF THE APPARITIONS OF OUR LADY AT BANNEUX To the Most Reverend Albert Houssiau Bishop of Liège 1. Fifty years ago, on 22 August 1949, Bishop Louis-Joseph Kerkhofs, your predecessor in the see of Liège, definitively recognized the reality of the apparitions of Our Lady of the Poor in Banneux. Moved to recall the Eucharist which I myself, during my Apostolic Visit to Belgium in May 1985, had the joy of celebrating in this shrine which has an important outreach, I gladly join in the prayer of the pilgrims who go there to seek comfort and strength from Our Lady of Banneux, invoked by the name of Our Lady of the Poor, Health of the Sick. With the whole Church, I thank the Lord for the outstanding mission carried out by the Mother of the Saviour and for the example of faith she offers the entire Christian people, called, like her, to follow Christ, every day repeating her "yes", her fiat. 2. In 1933, a few years before the Second World War, Mary appeared in Banneux as a messenger of peace. In a certain way she was summoning the leaders of society to become the artisans of peace and educators of peoples, inviting each person to care for his brothers and sisters, the lowliest, the most despised and the suffering, who are all beloved by God. Today it is still up to us to pray that "Mary, Mediatrix of grace, ever watchful and concerned for all her children, [may] obtain for all humanity the precious gift of harmony and peace" (Message on the 50th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War in Europe, 8 May 1995, n.

  • THE NEW COMMANDMENT That Shattered the HATRED Bertie Brits November 1, 2020
    THE NEW COMMANDMENT that shattered the HATRED Bertie Brits November 1, 2020 GREETINGS: I trust that all of you are blessed and that you are well rested and ready to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Welcome to this broadcast of Dynamic Love Ministries web church. We are about to just go right into John. Today I am going to talk about a wonderful passage in John and I’m going to teach you that you cannot be saved by how much you love your neighbor. Some might say, “Glory to God!” Well, that is the truth. You cannot be saved by how much you love your neighbor. Neither can your neighbor save you. You need to understand that. Salvation is only by Jesus Christ. It’s by grace through faith. That is how we receive salvation. Loving our neighbor is a result of the Gospel and something that comes forth in our lives on account of the goodness of God. It’s not about your own works. We’ve looked at the Bible and the love for our neighbor has been a big thing in the back of our minds and I think a lot of us were condemned in our minds. I mean, “Did you love your neighbor enough? Are you good enough to your neighbor and so forth.” We are going into a kind of detail about that and I am going to explain to you what the passage means that says we should love one another. PRAYER: Father, I want to thank You for Your love and Your grace.

  • Jesus Gives His Disciples a New Commandment at the Last Supper: “Love One Another As I Have Loved You.” It Is New Because T
    Rev. Glen Mullan Agape May 9, 2021 6th Sunday of Easter (B) (1Jn 4:7-10; Jn 15:9-17) Jesus gives his disciples a New Commandment at the Last Supper: “Love one another as I have loved you.” It is new because the standard is himself, and the love he speaks of is not human love, but divine love, agape. The English language is limited by the single word “love,” which can mean many things. In the Greek of the New Testament, however, there are three main words to describe different types of love. Eros is physical love, the love of things related to the needs of the body and the desires of the flesh (love for food, drink, sex, comfort). Eros brings pleasure. It is the most basic kind of love, but it is fundamentally selfish, extending no further than “me” and “my needs.” When we are babies this is the only kind of love we know. As we grow older, however, and learn to speak and communicate with others, we begin to experience true human love, Philos. This is a social love, the love of things related to the needs of the heart, most especially other people. It is friendship and consideration. Philos purifies and perfects Eros: we no longer simply eat to “stuff our face,” but rather to share a meal together, building relationships; we don’t drink simply to get drunk, but rather to celebrate and have a good time; we don’t simple pursue sexual gratification, but rather “make love.” For the sake of the more noble and true human love, we are ready to sacrifice lower love whenever necessary.
