NEW PARISHIONER RECEPTION
The Parish Welcoming Event will be at noon on
Sunday, November 5, after the 10:30 Mass, in the Parish Center.
This event is for all newcomers of the parish. We hope to
In response to the question about the first of the com-
mandments, Jesus says: The first is, Hear, O Israel: The
Lord our God. the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and
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 Apostle
St . Paul reminds us of this: He who loves his neighbor has
fulfilled the law. The commandments, You shall not com-
mit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You
shall not covet, and any other commandment, are summed up in this
sentence, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong
to a neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
