"Your words, Lord, are spirit and life."
Lv 19:1-2, 11-18
Mk 25:31-46

Can you put the whole human race in two categories : the good and the bad? Surely there are shades of goodness and badness. But that is not the point of the parable. A parable makes only one point, but we often read parables as if they were allegories, that is, stories whose every single element points some moral. No, the single point today's parable is there can be no love of God without love of other people. We make this examination so that we can be more aware of how we fail in our love for our brothers and sisters.♥
