Question of the Week for

October 25

How can I give of myself this week and to whom?

     In the first reading, God had to remind the Chosen People of their obligation to love God with all their being

and to love their neighbor as themselves. If they always did, there would have been no reason for an outcry from the widow and the orphan—from people who may not have loved ones of their own. The LORD mentions the people to whom they specifically need to show love: aliens, widows, orphans, and the poor. In each case, God points out that the person we think of “other” could well be ourselves. The Israelites were aliens themselves when in Egypt. A father’s death would make his spouse a widow and, in that era, their children orphans. By nightfall, the creditor can become the debtor.
