This weeks readings
Collect 131
Almighty and eternal God, you have kindled the flame of love in the hearts of the saints: grant to us the same faith and power of love, that, as we rejoice in their triumphs, we may be sustained by their example and fellowship; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, grant this for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit, be the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Deuteronomy 6. 1-9
Now this is the commandment – the statutes and the ordinances – that the Lord your God charged me to teach you to observe in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy, so that you and your children and your children’s children may fear the Lord your God all the days of your life, and keep all his decrees and his commandments that I am commanding you, so that your days may be long.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe them diligently, so that it may go well with you, and so that you may multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart.
Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Responsorial Psalm 119. 1-8
R: Lead me, O Lord in the path of your commandments
Blessed are those whose / way is pure: who walk in the law / of the Lord. Blessed are those who / keep his testimonies: and seek him with / their whole heart,
R: Lead me, O Lord in the path of your commandments
Those who / do no wickedness: but walk / in his ways. You, O / Lord, have charged: that we should diligently keep / your commandments.
R: Lead me, O Lord in the path of your commandments
O that my ways were made / so direct: that I might / keep your statutes. Then should I not be / put to shame: because I have regard for all / your commandments.
R: Lead me, O Lord in the path of your commandments
I will thank you with an / unfeigned heart: when I have learned your / righteous judgements. I will / keep your statutes: O forsake / me not utterly.
R: Lead me, O Lord in the path of your commandments
Hebrews 9. 11-14
But when Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), he entered once for all into the Holy Place, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption.
For if the blood of goats and bulls, with the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, sanctifies those who have been defiled so that their flesh is purified, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!
V: Hear what the spirit is saying to the Church
R: Thanks be to God
Please stand for the Gospel
V: Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to St Mark
R: Glory to you, O Lord
Mark 12. 28-34 The First Commandment
One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, ‘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 other”; and “to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength”, and “to love one’s neighbour as oneself”,
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.
V: This is the Gospel of the Lord
R: Praise to you, O Christ
Post Communion Prayer 132
Lord of heaven, in this Eucharist you have brought us near to an innumerable company of angels and to the spirits of the just made perfect: as in this food of our earthly pilgrimage we have shared their fellowship, so may we come to share their joy in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
