Gloria – Creed
First Reading
Deuteronomy 6:2-6
2that you may fear the LORD your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
3Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them; that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD;
5and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart;
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 18:2-4, 47, 51
1I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
46The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
50Great triumphs he gives to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants for ever.
Second Reading
Hebrews 7:23-28
23The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;
24but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever.
25Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
27He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
28Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever.
Gospel
Mark 12:28-34
28And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"
29Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one;
30and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
32And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he;
33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.
