With Our Mind

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25 Jesus’ enemies were always looking for ways to NO 8:00 a.m. Mass 9:30 a.m. Mass...Guadalupe Brille † trap him. In Matthew 22, where today’s Gospel Ex 22:20-26/Ps 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51/ comes from, Jesus is tested three times. The test 1 Thes 1:5c-10/Mt 22:34-40 in this week’s reading centers on the Pharisees MONDAY, OCTOBER 26 asking Jesus what is the greatest commandment Eph 4:32-5:8/Ps 1:1-2, 3, 4 & 6/ of the law. In response, Jesus quotes the Shema, Lk 13:10-17 the great prayer from Deuteronomy 6:4, which TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27 begins, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Eph 5:21-33/Ps 128:1-2, 3, 4-5/ Lk 13:18-21 Lord” (RSV). That alone wouldn’t have surprised WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28 his audience. In fact, they would have expected 9:00 a.m. Mass...Mary Agnes Rafferty him to say something like that. Eph 2:19-22/Ps 19:2-3, 4-5/ What does surprise them, however, is that Lk 6:12-16 Jesus subtly changes the wording. Instead of THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29 NO Mass saying that we are to love the Lord with all our Eph 6:10-20/Ps 144:1b, 2, 9-10/ heart, soul, and might, he says we must love with Lk 13:31-35 our heart, soul, and mind. So what’s the big deal? FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30 What’s the difference between might and mind? NO Mass One insight we can take away is that we must use our intellect to study the truth about God— Phil 1:1-11/Ps 111:1-2, 3-4, 5-6/ not just to have “head knowledge,” but because in order to truly love someone, we have to know Lk 14:1-6 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31 them. And in order to know someone, we have to know about them. If we are really to love God, 5:30 p.m. Mass...Ted & Catherine we have to know what God is like—his character and his actions. Carroll How can we come to know God? By reading the Scriptures. For if we have never read the Phil 1:18b-26/Ps 42:2, 3, 5cdef/ Bible, especially the Gospels, we cannot truly say that we love God with our whole mind (as well Lk 14:1, 7-11 as heart and soul).
