Keep in mind that just prior to this teaching the Thessalonians were told to, “progress even more” in, “fraternal charity”.

Responsorial Psalm

Alleluia

I give you a new commandment: this puts Jesus on a par with Yahweh. The commandment itself is not new.

Gospel

In the Gospel this is not a question but an exclamation ‼️
Wicked, lazy servant: this man’s inactivity is not negligible but seriously culpable. As punishment, he loses the gift he had received, that is now given to the first servant, whose possessions are already great.

On this 2nd day of the Season of Creation, do I know the fine difference between,”minding my own business”, and “being a wicked and lazy servant”❓

From September 1 – October 4, the Christian family unites worldwide in prayer and action for creation during the Season of Creation. The 2023 theme is “Let Justice and Peace Flow.”

“in this Season of Creation, as followers of Christ on our shared synodal journey, we may live, work, and pray so that our common home will teem with life once again.”
Pope Francis

Pope Francis: Second Laudato si’ to be published on 4 October

Another encyclical from the Pope on protecting the environment? Please, give me a break. How about an encyclical on protecting the #unborn from #abortion, which has claimed far more lives than climate change, pandemics, wars, the death penalty, or anything else!

When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected.
Laudato si, paragraph 117
