20TH FRIDAY HOMILY OF ORDINARY TIME — YEAR B
HOMILY THEME: THE COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE
BY: Fr Deotacious Chikontwe SMA
Ezek 37:1-14; Psalm 106(107):2-9; Matt 22:34-40
FROM OUR FIRST READING
The message in our first reading is very important especially for everyone facing difficult times. It tells us that even when things seem impossible, God has the power to change our circumstances. Just as the dry bones came to life, we too can experience a renewal in our lives. We need to trust that God can and will bring new hope and strength. It encourages us not to give up, knowing that God’s power can work in amazing ways.
The passage also teaches us to be patient and wait on God’s timing. Sometimes, we may not see immediate changes, but God is always at work. By keeping faith and staying hopeful, we open ourselves to God’s renewing power. This gives us courage and helps us to face challenges with confidence.

FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
In our gospel, Jesus teaches about the greatest commandment. He says that the most important commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. This means putting God first in every aspect of our lives. It is a call to complete and sincere devotion to God.
Loving God first means making time for prayer and worship. It also means making decisions that honor God and follow His teachings. When we love God with all our heart, we are motivated to live in a way that pleases Him. This love is not just about feelings; it involves our actions and choices.
CONCLUSION
Dear friends, loving God with all our soul and mind means engaging our thoughts and emotions in our faith. It encourages us to seek a deeper understanding of God’s will. By doing so, we strengthen our relationship with God and experience greater peace and joy.
