A Gospel reflection by Father Cesar Ageas 31 st Sunday in Ordinary Time The Greatest Commandment: Love of God and Love of Neighbor In Jesus time, it is common to make queries on many religious issues, like what the scribe asked: which is the first of all the commandments. In the Gospel, we are not told if the scribe is just testing Jesus. But Jesus entertains the question, He is cordial; he does not comment on the man s intent. And he gives something more in his answer. In his response, Jesus picks up from the Book of Deuteronomy (6:4-5) something that all Jews are familiar with- the Shema. The Jews recite this prayer twice a day. The First Reading says more about the commandment. It is a command not only to hear God s voice but also to keep and observe all his commandments, The Second Reading, from the Letter to the Hebrews recognizes Jesus as a high priest whose priesthood is superior to that of the priests in Jerusalem. Jesus priesthood does not pass away, while theirs dies because the Levitical priests die. Jesus practices his priesthood not in the Temple, but in heaven. We, ordained and lay members of the Church, share in the priesthood of Christ. As priests we are called to be number one observers of his command. We follow God s commandment to love God and to love our neighbor. God bless! Low Gluten Eucharistic Hosts According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and canon law, in the Roman Catholic Church, bread for the Eucharist must be made with unleavened wheat flour. Wheat flour contains gluten. A Mayo Clinic-led analysis published in 2012 estimates that roughly 1.8 million Americans have Celiac disease or gluten intolerance and many are unaware of it. Because of the serious health risk to several of our parishioners, both St. Joseph and St. Teresa Parishes now provide Vatican-approved, low gluten altar bread with a gluten content of less than.01% If you or anyone with a gluten intolerance condition would like to receive a low gluten host during communion, please notify the Sacristan or Fr. Cesar prior to each Mass. The Doctor is in Do you have a Rosary that is broken or needs a crucifix or beads? Please drop your Rosary off at the Church office and we can have him fix it for you for FREE Pray the Rosary for families PLEASE REMEMBER ST.

Evangelio, no nos dice si el escriba está probando a Jesús. Pero Jesús se entretiene con esta pregunta, es cordial; no comente la intención del hombre. Y les da algo más en su respuesta. En su respuesta, Jesús recoge del libro de Deuteronomio (6:4-5) algo que conocen todos los judíos-el Shemá. Los judíos recitan esta oración dos veces al día. La primera lectura dice más acerca del mandamiento, es un orden no sólo oír la voz de Dios, pero también a mantener y observar todos sus mandamientos, La segunda lectura de la carta a los Hebreos reconoce a Jesús como un sumo sacerdote, cuyo sacerdocio es superior a la de los sacerdotes en Jerusalén. El Sacerdocio de Jesús no pasará, mientras que el de ellos muere porque mueren los sacerdotes levíticos. Jesús practica su sacerdocio no en el templo, sino en el cielo. Nosotros hombres somos licos miembros de la iglesia podemos ser Ordenados como Sacerdote, compartimos en el sacerdocio de Cristo. Como Sacerdotes estamos llamados a ser observadores del mandamiento número uno de su orden. Nosotros seguimos el mandamiento de Dios que es amar a Él y amar a nuestro prójimo. Que Dios nos bendiga a todos! El Padre Cesar
