October 31st-Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time “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 the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Mark 12:33
Of all the gifts that God gives us, the one He wants the most is ourheart. He wants us to share out of our love for Him, not out ofobligation.Using our talent in parish ministry and contributing moneyto support our parish mission is important, but it’s more important tospend time in prayer with God daily and discern how He is calling usto be generous with our gifts. Not just the visible ones, but theinvisible ones like love, mercy and forgiveness.
