VIGEMUSQUE! Feast of Our Mother of Mercy 2023-XVII Sunday After Pentecost|1st Anniversary Priesthood

Fr. Stanislaus commemoretes his 1st Anniversary as a Priest by a bit of recollection that will serve as lead into this week's homily. Knowing that He is being setup for a trap, Our Lord circumvents the Pharasee's queary designed for public failure. He turns there "knowledge" of the law and the Prophets into a lesson in regards to grave necessity for each of us to recognize the One True God and with it is to love, as God loves and as you love yourself, our neighbor--or, the "other". Then when we recognize this neighbor in need we should treat him as we excpect to be treated by God. For the Pharisee, who saw himself as the "elite" of his society, this new "law" would never do and so, therfore, they could never love as God loves. The most that person could ever hope to do is to be loving as the world is loving....except the world is not very loving.
