Homily for the 31st Sunday of Ordinary time ( year B) October 31, 2021.

Jesus taught us how to see God in each person and he tells us that we cannot love God enough if we fail to see his image in other people. Jesus summarised the whole Jewish law into love of God and neighbour, He wanted his listeners to understand that it is not possible to love God sincerely without loving the people whom God has made in his own image and likeness. St. John makes this point clear when he says, “Whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12,28b-34. One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.' And 'to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself' is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that (he) answered with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared to ask him any more questions. #SundayHomily#31stSundayOrdinaryTime#Mark12: 28-34 #Catholic#Gospel#Reflection #Anotherexorcist #CatholicSundayHomily #dailygospel #catholicgospel#gospeltoday #todaysreadings#Todaybibleverse #GospelofGod#chempottickal#FrBiju#Gospeloftheday #catholic #todayscatholicgospelreading #dailycatholicgospelreading #Reflection #EnglishHomily #SundaySermon #SpeechSunday
