Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time • Year C
This is a love that doesn’t point fingers; it’s a love that pulls and pushes in the direction of all that is of God and from God. Each one of us is meant to do great things with our lives, for God’s greater glory, for the glory of humanity, of our world. As we hear in our first reading from Samuel, it is a love that, no matter how difficult it is to bear and express, in the end brings “no harm to God’s anointed.” And the hard truth of the Gospel is that we are all God’s anointed, God’s beloved.
