THE GOSPEL
Mark 12:28b-34Jesus replied, … you shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart.
Christ,
write on our hearts
so that we never forget,
write on our hearts
that you want us to love you
with our whole soul, our whole mind,
and our whole understanding,
and with every ounce
of our strength.
And let our love for you
spill over to our
neighbor.
And let
all of the
love of neighbor
accompany you in eternity
so that all things work together
when we love God.
THE FIRST READING
Deuteronomy 6:2-6
Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your strength.
Jesus,
what does it mean?
to love with all my heart,
all my soul and all my strength?
I stand in awe before this commandment.
Teach me how to love all people.
Give me your grace to learn
that love sacrifices
everything.
THE SECOND READING
Hebrews 7:23-28
He is always able to save those who approach God through him,
since he lives forever to make intercession for them.
Not
in some history book in eons past,
but in our lives, in our times,
now, today and all days,
you, Christ Jesus,
offer yourself
for us.
Lord,
plead our case,
please,
every
day.
