Mass Readings for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

• First Reading – Deuteronomy 6:2-6: Moses instructed the people to fear and obey the LORD, promising growth and prosperity. Love the LORD with all your heart, soul, and strength, and take these words to heart.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 18: I love you, Lord. You are my strength, rock, and refuge. You save me and keep me safe. Blessed be my savior, who gives victories and shows kindness.
• Second Reading – Hebrews 7:23-28: Jesus is our eternal high priest who intercedes for us. He is holy and offered himself once for all. He is perfect forever.
• Gospel – Mark 12:28b-34: A scribe asked Jesus about the greatest commandment. Jesus answered, saying to love God completely and love your neighbor as yourself. The scribe agreed, and Jesus affirmed his understanding.
  
  
• The readings for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B prompt us to reflect on our obedience to God’s commandments, both in our thoughts and in our hearts. In the first reading, Moses emphasizes the love of God above all else, while the second reading highlights the eternal priesthood of Jesus. In the gospel, Jesus commends a man who understands the importance of the Great Commandment. These readings explore themes such as the Ten Commandments, the call to love, loyalty, different types of love, and the role of Church laws (Magisterium).
