GOSPEL READING
MATTHEW 22:34-40

A READING FROM THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
(YOU MUST LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF.)
A lawyer, to disconcert Jesus,put a question,
“Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?”
Jesus said,
“You must love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all your soul
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second resembles it:
You must love your neighbour as yourself.
On these two commandments hang the whole Law,
and the Prophets also.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
R.) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Grant us, O Lord,
that by the example of Saint Aloysius,

we may possess the riches of your grace.
Through Christ our Lord.
R.) Amen.

Saint Aloysius,
whom we honour today,

Through Christ our Lord.
R.) Amen.
