This Sunday in the Lectionary
Sunday, October 25, 2026 · Season After Pentecost · Proper 25
The long Season after Pentecost (Ordinary Time) stretches across the second half of the church year, focusing on the ongoing life of discipleship and the mission of the Church.
As the liturgical year moves toward its conclusion, the lectionary focuses on the essential core of the Christian life. This Sunday emphasizes the simplicity and depth of the divine law, which is not a burden of rules but a framework for flourishing. We are invited to consider how all our religious practices and ethical decisions find their ultimate source and destination in the character of God.
In Matthew 22, Jesus responds to the testing of the Pharisees by synthesizing the entire tradition into the dual command to love God and neighbor. This teaching bridges the gap between ancient ritual and modern ethics, suggesting that our devotion to the Divine is hollow if it does not manifest in tangible care for those around us. It challenges the compartmentalization of our spiritual and social lives.
Preachers might explore the 'vertical' and 'horizontal' dimensions of the Great Commandment. A helpful hook is the idea of 'the heart's orientation'—how loving God with all our being naturally overflows into the way we treat the stranger and the friend. Consider pastoral guidance on how to love difficult neighbors as a primary form of worship, moving beyond sentimentality into sacrificial action.
