Your Neighbor as Yourself—Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time (Cycle C)
Deut. 30:10–14; Col. 1:15–20; Luke 10:25–37
What does God expect from us? What puts us in right relationship with God? When we talk about being right with God, ultimately, that’s what we mean. But what does being right with God entail? Jesus outlines the two fundamental principles that put us in right relationship. Ultimately all commandments from our Lord come down to two: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself.
In the gospel reading today, a scribe or scholar of the law asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life.
