Got kids? Then another click will take you to hints for helping children prepare to hear the Word at Mass this weekend.
The Wisdom text may be sound economically primitive in our own day but the heart of its message is as true today as it was when it was written. The passage from Thessalonians is a continuation of that letter's salutation (the beginning of which we heard last week) and it's a gracious compliment from Paul about his readers' reputation in the faith. (Would that our faith today stood out so boldly for the world around us.) The gospel from Matthew gives us the "two great commandments," words we all know, perhaps by heart. We need to be careful lest our familiarity with them lead us to pay them insufficient attention. To ponder these words over and over again is a virtue, not a waste of time.
