We have loved them in life, let us not forget them in death . St Ambrose 1st November Today we take time to remember those whom we’vemet on life’s journey and who have now passed on to eternal life.

We may be remembering someone very dear to us – a mother, father, brother or sister, a grandparent, a daughter or son, a dear friend or relation.and we may also call to mind people who walked alongside us in life’s journey for only a brief time, but who touched our lives deeply.we remember those who have died during the past year, and all our loved ones who have died. 1 November – All Saints Day All Saints’ Day, also known as the Feast or Solemnity of All Saints, is celebrated every year on 1 November.

On this day, which is a Holy Day of Obligation, we honour all of the Saints and ask them to pray for us.

Mass on All Saints Day 2 November – All Souls’ Day or more formally ‘the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed’ is a solemn celebration commemorating all of those who have died.

An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed.

The indulgence is plenary each day from November 1-8; The plenary indulgence is earned under the usual conditions: Going to Confession, receiving Holy Communion and praying for the Pope's intentions (usually one Our Father and the Creed or Hail Mary).

Adoration in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel to pray for the Holy Souls will take place from the 1st Nov.— 8th Nov from 10.30am to 12.30pm each day for eight days Sunday to Sunday.

Sun 1st Nov 10 am 11.30am Eddie Lonergan RIP(Rec Dec) Sonny Larkin RIP (20th A) Mass Intentions Reflection In the verses in the gospel preceding today’s passage, the Sadducees - who deny the resurrection - approached Jesus and asked him a question about the afterlife not in order to seek an answer, not to learn, but to try to trip himup.

Yet again, Jesus gave a masterful answer ands ilenced them.

Then, not to be outdone, the Pharisees approached him and they put their question.

They weren’t asking in order to learn either but to disconcert Jesus.

In other translations, it is said they approached him with a question to test Jesus.

The only other place St. Matthew uses this verb is when he applied it to the devil who approached Jesus after his forty days’ fast in the desert, and the devil set out to test Jesus.

Clearly, St. Matthew is saying that what the Pharisees were up to was reprehen- sible, nothing short of diabolical.

Inspired by the devil they were treating Jesus - who is God - with utter contempt.

This then contrasts - like black contrasts with white - when Jesus tells them that the first law is to love God and not treat him with contempt as they had.

To get back to their question for a moment.

At first glance, it seems innocuous enough: “Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law? ” We would happily admit that there is a hierarchy of importance in laws.

Some laws are more important than others.

It seems obvi ous enough. But the rabbis of Jesus’ day held that all the commandments - all six hundred and thirteen of them - being God’s laws were all of equal importance and ranking them in terms of importance would be human presumption and an affront to God.

Then using their own commandment from Deuteronomy which read: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord your God is one Lord: and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. ” Jesus instructed them that love of God is the first and most important law and then he went on to say that loving one’s neighbour as oneself is the second and that the whole law is summed up in these two commandments.

This is the key to interpreting all law.

If one truly loves God and neighbour one has in fact kept all of God’s laws.

Writing to the Romans, St. Paul put it this way: Love is the one thing that cannot hurt your neighbour; that is why it is the answer to every one of the commandments. ” (Rom. 13:10) Saints of the Week St Otteran -
