Easter

The sound of Alleluias fills the 50 days of Easter Sunday to Pentecost as we give thanks for the gift of our salvation. The Easter Triduum recalls the passion and resurrection of Christ in the sacred journey from Holy Thursday to Easter Vigil. "Dying he destroyed our death. Rising he restored our life."

Sunday Readings and Backgrounds

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : Exodus 22:20-26

Take care to be just, especially to widows and the poor.

  • Exodus 20-23 consists primarily of laws.
  • Today's passage reminds the Israelites to care for the poor and vulnerable in their midst.
  • Any mistreatment of the vulnerable people in the society would be interpreted as a direct affront to God.

Reading II : 1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10

Your faith is an example for others.

  • Paul's thanksgiving for the faith of the Thessalonians continues in today's passage.
  • The Thessalonians have endured with joy the suffering brought by faithfulness to God's Law.
  • As a result, they have become, in their turn, models of faith for the rest of the Near East.

Gospel : Matthew 22:34-40

The great commandment.

  • The discussion of the Law in today's Gospel is one of the four conflict stories in this section of Matthew.
  • A scribe attempts to trap Jesus with the question: "What is the greatest commandment of the Law"?
  • Jesus answers by quoting two passages from the Hebrew Scriptures: the command to love God from Deuteronomy 6:5, and the command to love their neighbor from Leviticus 19:18.
