Readings for the weekend of October 23, 2011
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The reason why we can heed these otherwise overwhelming words- "You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind"-is because of a seminal truth that has already taken hold of us: God does not want anything from us that he has not himself first given us. The utterance of this Great Commandment is a confirmation that God has first loved us in such a way that it is supremely possible for us to love him as he demands. The generosity of our charity towards others flows from our mindfulness that we "were once aliens," but then God's love came and claimed us. That is why we truly can become "imitators of the Lord." --Magnificat
First Reading: Exodus 22:20-26
Psalm: 18 I love you, Lord, my strength.
Second Reading: Thessalonians 1:5c-10
Goespel Reading: Matthew 22:34-40
