GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN The Old Testament reading from Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The truly human, flesh-andblood Jesus reminds us that God always wants to be recognizable and familiar to us. Jesus, who is also truly God, wants to be on intimate terms with each of us. God’s passionate desire to be known by us is almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel helps us understand how to respond. The Good Samaritan parable provides practical advice for those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL DESEO DE DIOS PARA SER CONOCIDO La lectura del Antiguo Testamento del libro del Deuteronomio alaba a Dios por escribir los mandamientos en nuestros cuerpos. La ley de Dios no es extraña o distante, sino una parte natural de nosotros. En su carta a los colosenses, san Pablo hace eco de Moisés, alabando a Dios por ser uno de nosotros. Él, verdaderamente humano, de carne y hueso, Jesús nos recuerda que Dios siempre quiere ser para nosotros alguien familiar al quien podemos reconocer, el que es verdadero Dios, quiere estar en buenos términos con cada uno de nosotros. El deseo apasionado de Dios para ser conocido por nosotros es tan maravilloso para disfrutarse. El Evangelio de Lucas nos ayuda a entender cómo responder. La parábola del Buen Samaritano nos provee de consejos prácticos para quienes creen en la intimidad del amor de Dios para ellos y quiere compartir ese amor con otros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

This was Jesus’ command at the end of the Good Samaritan story. Did you know that the Samaritans and Jews despised each other. The moral of the story is to love our neighbor. That means loving someone you may not know or someone that looks different than you or someone that you don’t like. All without expecting anything in return. Este fue el mandato de Jesús al final de la historia del buen samaritano. ¿Sabías que los samaritanos y los judíos se despreciaban mutuamente? La moraleja de la historia es amar a nuestro prójimo. Eso significa amar a alguien que quizás no conozcas o alguien que se ve diferente a ti o a alguien que no te gusta. Todo sin esperar nada a cambio.
