Reading 1 ( Dt 6:2-6)
Moses spoke to the people, saying: "Fear the
LORD, your God, and keep, throughout the days
of your lives, all his statutes and
commandments which I enjoin on you, and
thus have long life. Hear then, Israel, and be
careful to observe them, that you may grow
and prosper the more, in keeping with the
promise of the LORD, the God of your fathers,
to give you a land flowing with milk and honey.
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD
alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your
God, with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your strength. Take to heart these
words which I enjoin on you today."
Reading 2 (Heb 7:23-28)
Brothers and sisters: The levitical priests were many
because they were prevented by death from
remaining in office, but Jesus, because he remains
forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away.
Therefore, he is always able to save those who
approach God through him, since he lives forever to
make intercession for them. It was fitting that we
should have such a high priest: holy, innocent,
undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the
heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to
offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and
then for those of the people; he did that once for all
when he offered himself. For the law appoints men
subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word
of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints
a son, who has been made perfect forever.
Gospel (Mk 12:28b-34)
One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus
replied, "The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." The scribe
said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.' And 'to
love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor
as yourself' is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that he answered
with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared to ask
him any more questions.
