Today’s Scriptu re Readings Entrance Antiphon Let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice; turn to the Lord and his strength; constantly seek his face.
Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glo-ry, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, al- mighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Be- gotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Fa- ther.
Amen. Readings at Mass First reading A reading from Exodus 22:20-22 The Lord said to Moses, ‘Tell the sons of Israel this: ‘“You must not molest the stranger or oppress him, for you lived as strangers in the land of Egypt.
You must not be harsh with the widow, or with the orphan; if you are harsh with them, they will surely cry out to me, and be sure I shall hear their cry; my anger will flare and I shall kill you with the sword, your own wives will be widows, your own children orphans. ‘“If you lend money to any of my people, to any poor man among you, you must not play the usurer with him: you must not demand interest from him.‘“If you take another’s cloak as a pledge, you must give it back to him before sunset.
It is all the covering he has; it is the cloak he wraps his body in; what else would he sleep in?
If he cries to me, I will listen, for I am full of pity.”’ The Word of the Lord Responsorial Psalm Response: I love you, Lord, my strength.
I love you, Lord, my strength, my rock, my fortress, my saviour.
My God is the rock where I take refuge; my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold.
The Lord is worthy of all praise, when I call I am saved from my foes.
R Long life to the Lord, my rock! Praised be the God who saves me, He has given great victories to his king and shown his love for his anointed.
R Second reading A reading from: Thessalonians 1: 5-10 You observed the sort of life we lived when we were with you, which was for your instruction, and you were led to become imitators of us, and of the Lord; and it was with the joy of the Holy Spirit that you took to the gospel, in spite of the great opposition all round you.
This has made you the great exam- ple to all believers in Macedonia and Achaia since it was from you that the word of the Lord started to spread – and not only throughout Macedonia and Achaia, for the news of your faith in God has spread everywhere.
We do not need to tell other people about it: other people tell us how we started the work among you, how you broke with idola- try when you were converted to God and became servants of the real, living God; and how you are now waiting for Jesus, his Son, whom he raised from the dead, to come from heaven to save us from the retribution which is coming.
The Word of the Lord Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, Alleluia!
Open our heart, O Lord, to accept the words of your Son.
Alleluia! A reading from the Holy Gospel according Matthew 22:34-40 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to disconcert him, one of them 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 com- mandment.
The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as your- self.
On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets also. ’ The Gospel of the Lord Profession of Faith I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen. Communion Antiphon We will ring out our joy at your saving help and exult in the name of our God.
Prayer after Communion Grant, O Lord, we pray, that, benefiting from participation in heavenly things, we may be helped by what you give in this present age and prepared for the gifts that are eternal.
Through Christ our Lord. Thought for the Day ‘Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frus- trations, but about your unfulfilled poten- tial.
Concern yourself not what you tired and failed in, but with what is still possi- ble for you to do’. Saint Pope John XXIII. ‘Intense love does not measure, it just gives. ’ Saint Teresa of Culcutta.

CHARLES TOWN (KILBEA GH)
LETTER The Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time 25th October 2026 To love the Lord with all our heart – is this even possible?
A common assumption is that love must just come, that it grows organically, and that it cannot be forced.
That’s infatuation, not true love. Any kind of love – for a parent, spouse, child, or friend – will reach a point during which it is no longer easy.
For love to be true, it must be a free choice and commitment. ‘All your heart, soul, and mind’ sounds rather extreme, even rather dangerous.
The world says that loving anyone totally is a risky proposition – what if the one we love rejects us or lets us down, leaving us with nothing?
And the world is even more terrified to love God totally, who cannot even be seen.
This makes sense; after all, to love totally is to trust that we will find fulfilment precisely by not looking for it ourselves, but by looking to fulfil someone else.
That old, almost clichéd phrase, ‘love grows when it is given away, ’ is actually spot-on in this regard.
True love takes a leap of faith, which is what frightens nonbelievers.
Many people are okay with going to church every now and then or volunteering for a charity from time to time (and posting it on Instagram, of course).
Loving like that does not require us to make any kind of leap, any kind of definitive change, any commitment.
But loving God with everything means that all we do is for love of him.
We trust that he will take care of us. That is heroic; that is what it means to be a saint.

“Perfect love means putting up with other people’s shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them. ” St. Thérèse of Lisieux Profession of Faith I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen Prayer over the Offerings Look, we pray, O Lord, on the offerings we make to your majesty, that whatever is done by us in your ser- vice may be directed above all to your glory.
Through Christ our Lord. Communion Antiphon We will ring out our joy at your saving help and exult in the name of our God.
Prayer after Communion May your Sacraments, O Lord, we pray, perfect in us what lies within them, that what we now celebrate in signs we may one day possess in truth.
