Commentary to the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary time – Year C

 Jesus asks the disciples to love freely, to do good in pure loss. He recommends welcoming home those who cannot give anything in return. God will provide the reward in heaven. This statement needs clarification. The call to help the poor, thinking of the wealth accumulated in heaven, can still be selfish behavior. It is using the poor to ‘transfer one’s capitals to heaven.’ This love is detestable; it is sneaky.
