For 31 October 2021, Thirty-First Sunday of Ordinary Time, based on Mark 12:28b–34
One of the scribes asked Jesus, ‘Which commandment is the first of all?’ Jesus answered, ‘The first is, “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.†The second is this, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.†There is no other commandment greater than these.’ Then the scribe said to him, ‘You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that “he is one, and besides him there is no otherâ€; and “to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strengthâ€, and “to love one’s neighbour as oneselfâ€,—this is much more important than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’ When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ After that no one dared to ask him any question.

Thought provoking reflection on a familiar Gospel, maybe sometimes too familiar. You have opened a window. Thank you.
