THIERTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

OCTOBER 25, 2020 First Reading: Exodus 22:20-26 This passage from the book of Exodus enjoins all to adhere to specific religious and social laws. It urges all to act with justice and compassion towards others.

Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10 Paul praises the Thessalonians for receiving the word of God so eagerly and totally. Word of their faithfulness has spread throughout Macedonia and Greece; they have become a model for all Christians.

Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40 Matthew recounts the incident in which a lawyer, seeking to entrap Jesus, asks, “Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest?” With simplicity and authority, Jesus responds that the first commandment is to love God with one’s entire being; the second is to love one’s neighbor as oneself.

+ PARISH ANOINTING +

MASS SATURDAY, OCTOBER

31st - 12 NOON

“Are there people sick among you? Let them send for the priests of the Church and let them the priests pray over them anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise them up. If they have committed any sins, their sins will be forgiven them.” James 5:14-15. The sacrament is provided by the Church for those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age. Anyone who is seriously ill is eligible. In old age, almost any illness takes on a serious nature. A person may also receive the sacrament prior to a serious medical procedure. Come to me all who labor and are heavy burdened….and I will give you rest. ____________________________________________
