Love God, love the ‘hood / Ama a Dios, ama el barrio A reflection based on Matthew 22:34-40 / Una reflexión basada en Mateo 22:34-40 http://justleros.blogsp...ot.com//love-god-love-hood-ama-dios Six hundred and thirteen commandments that apply to all of life one for each day of the solar year and one for each bone in the human body some negative and others positive 365 don’ts and 248 do’s were wisely summed up by Jesus into just two short precepts like a pocket version of the tablets and scrolls which are as inseparable as sand and desert ocean and wave stars and moon clouds and rain to remind us that loving God is not simply about charitable giving pious invocations eloquent preaching and religious processions but rather about loving people all kinds of people the ones we like and the ones we dislike the ones we choose and the ones we refuse the ones on the Christmas list and the ones on the wanted list the ones far away and the ones nearby because God truly lives way upstairs and right next door in the heavenly realm and in the neighborhood we abhor. %%% Seiscientos trece mandamientos que se aplican a toda la vida uno para cada día del año solar y uno para cada miembro del cuerpo humano algunos negativos y otros positivos 365 no hagas y 248 haz así fueron sabiamente resumidos por Jesús en tan solo dos cortos preceptos como una versión de bolsillo de las tablas y los rollos que son tan inseparables como la arena y el desierto el océano y la ola las estrellas y la luna las nubes y la lluvia para recordarnos que amar a Dios no consiste simplemente en donaciones caritativas invocaciones piadosas predicaciones elocuentes y procesiones religiosas sino por el contrario es amar a la gente todo tipo de gente la que nos gusta y la que nos disgusta la que elegimos y la que rechazamos la de la lista de Navidad y de la lista de los buscados la que está lejos y la que está cercana porque Dios verdaderamente vive por allá arriba y a nuestro lado en el ámbito celestial y en ese barrio que detestamos.
