God Is The Judge

Two very challenging readings face us today:  An elaboration on the commandments from Leviticus, 19: 1-2, 11-18, and Matthew 25: 31-46.  Worth more than a peek but rather some serious reflection. Leviticus dares us to be "holy for I, the Lord, your God, am holy, " (Lv 19:1) and "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Lv 19: 18).  Matthew tells us who our neighbor is and how to love him.  We might shy away from loving our enemies, or defrauders, prisoners, convicts, street people, but God alone is the one who sees into their hearts and knows them better than we.  He alone is the one to make the decision on who are the sheep and who are the goats.
