He gives two: love God with all your heart, and love your neighbour as yourself.
The two belong together. Mother Teresa began each day in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, then went out to care for the poor and dying of Calcutta.
For her, loving God and loving others were one and the same.
Our Þrst reading reminds us that God cares deeply about how we treat those in need.
That love must be practical. Many of you quietly care for children, elderly relatives or the sick, and Jesus sees and blesses every sacriÞce.
WeÕre also grateful to our St Vincent de Paul members for their generous service.
This week, ask God what more he might be asking of you.

Ballymoney Parish November The Month of the Holy Souls Next week we begin the month of special prayer for the Holy Souls.
There are a number of ways that we can pray together as a parish for our deceased loved ones this year.
November Dead Lists and envelopes are now available.
Please take them home and write down the names of your deceased family and friends who you wish to pray for.
Envelopes can be left back in the church at Mass times or posted through the door of the parochial house.
The names will be placed before the altar throughout the month of November and prayed for at all Masses and devotions.
You may wish to include an offering in your envelope and these are very gratefully received.
Prayer & Reßection There will be two short services of prayer and reßection on the theme of remembering the dead and the resurrection during the month.
The Þrst will be on
Thursday 5th November at 7pm . Parish Annual Requiem Mass A requiem Mass for all deceased parishioners and priests will take place on
Friday 13th November at 7pm . November Pledge Why not go off alcohol (or another treat) this month as a penance for the Holy Souls?
Think of it as a little Lent in November (and a good preparation for Christmas too!).
If you wish to make the pledge you can pray: I promise, in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to abstain from all intoxicating substances until the end of November.
Please consider joining with others in prayer, sacriÞce and support for those affected by addiction.
HYMNS FOR MASS Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope Where there is darkness, only light And where there's sadness, ever joy.
O, Master grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace It is in pardoning that we are pardoned In giving to all men that we receive And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things has done, in whom his world rejoices; who from our mothers' arms has blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
Omay this bounteous God through all our life be near us, with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us, to keep us in his grace, and guide us when perplexed, and free us from all ills of this world in the next.
