Justice and love


To realize that the Father’s love is above the Father’s justice. Raniero Cantalemessa, a papal preacher, a Dominican, said: “King He can realize his “I” in confrontation with his subjects, the child himself aware about parents, the citizen in contact with the state. However, how endless “I” will gain value the moment God becomes his measure. ”1 And just about mine value about God speaks today’s gospel through the image of a father and his son.
“My son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours” (Lk 15:31).

These are the words that a father shall answer to his eldest son when he shall answer his father; he rebukes that after many years of service, always obedient to his father’s command, he never received as an expression of gratitude or just a kid so that he can have fun with his friends. Older, the son perceives his relationship with his father on the principle of exchange justice, which is certainly correct, for the son shall restore his father’s care through his labor and labor. And certainly, it’s normal when he expects the inheritance of property from his father. But in the relationship of the older son to the father, yet something is missing, something more substantial, he lacks love.

The older son had no desire and effort to leave his father; like his younger brother, he did not desire freedom and independence. What he longed for and what in a way he had been that what he was doing for his father now would one day be his. Through his fathers’ eyes, he had before he perceived property and his relationship with his father as an exchange relationship justice. However, he is offended and touched when a father towards his younger son, who deprived him of his property, did not exercise the relationship of justice. He would expect his father he accepts the younger son as a servant. “My son, you are always with me, and all I have is yours ”(Lk 15:31). In this answer, the father clarifies to the older son that before righteousness, love, the Father’s love for his son comes first in his heart. He doesn’t answer to his older son, “For all I have is yours,” but my answer begins with the words, “My son, my son, you are always with me.”

The father’s loving heart is most importantly; she has a son, she has a son she loves and is always with him. The Father reveals to his older son that he is a son, that he is with a loving father, and in the father’s love also has everything that belongs to the father. We experience fasting time and liturgy, prayers, and more often, even sermons are the repentant character. We are more and more intensely aware of our sinfulness, unbelief, and ingratitude against God. But all this would be something absurd if we didn’t have it in front of our eyes God, the Father who loves us. Neither God nor the relationship of justice is applied to us; we must not perceive our relationship with God as exchangeable justice. We want to live holy, just, and without sin, not for God to give us heaven for it once. But we want to live holy, just, and without sin because God gives us in his love or already donated because he loves us; we are his beloved children.

The older son did not see his father’s love; there was property between him and his father. When looking at the love of God the Father, sometimes it obscures something to our and eyes. Either it’s us, our interests, worries, work, or even happiness and success, our false security. Younger, extravagant, the son, only because he lost everything, was able to discover his father’s love and in it find everything you lost again. Only when we lose ground do we have a kind of life security; only then do we turn our gaze to God, then look like a younger son.
Let us stay with God as an older son, but as a younger son, let us lose everything. At the end of the week, students from the university were given the task of embracing their father for a long time and sincerely.
“I can’t do it,” one protested, “my father would die.” “And finally,” said another, “My father knows I love him.” “It’s that easy,” the professor said. “Why wouldn’t you do that?” On Monday, everyone was surprised to talk about their experiences. “My father cried!” He said one. And the second: “Strange. My father thanked me. ”2 Maybe we look like a younger son than he felt in our lives, and we have discovered the love of God. Maybe we are like an older son; we have a relationship with God. To the Father, our distorted image, we fulfill our religious duties and wait for in return for it or. The students hugged their fathers and sincerely expressed their love for them and gratitude. Let us also stand before God the Father and realize that we are God-beloved sons and daughters loved by God. Let’s try to remove everything we have to prevent seeing Heavenly Father’s love.
