LITURGY OF THE WORD
1st READING EXODUS 22: 20-26
(Kindness to Others)
The Lord warns his people neither to oppress foreigners nor to harm widows or orphans. Consideration for the poor and needy should be a prime concern.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 18
(God our Rock)
I love you, Lord, my strength.
2nd READING THESSALONIANS 1:5c-10
(Imitating Christ)
You received the word of the Lord in spite of great hardships. You then became model Christians for your neighbors. You turned from idols to worship the true God.
THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 22:34-40
(The Greatest Commandment)
Jesus tells the scholar of the law that the greatest of all the commandments is love-to love God with all your being and your neighbor as yourself. This sums up the whole law.

live out their faith through acts of mercy, love and charity, bringing
Christ’s light to those who are in need.
