31ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B

Theme: Two loves not to be separated.

 

1st Reading: Deuteronomy, chapter 6: 2-6

Keeping the commandments of God, and paying him all due respect is the foundation of long life, prosperity and our very existence.

 

2nd Reading: Hebrews, chapter 7: 23-28

In this scripture, St Paul compares the functions of the Jewish High Priests, which were limited by their physical infirmities, to Jesus, the divine and eternal High Priest, whose sacrifice was made once, and for all mankind.

 

Gospel Reading: Mark, chapter 12: 28b-34

Love of neighbour cannot be separated from love of God; the two go hand-in-hand, reinforcing each other and resulting in a kind of love everlasting that is pleasing to God.
