Lay Readers

One of the scribes came up to Jesus and put a question to him,

“Which is the first of all the commandments?”  Jesus replied, “This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one Lord, and you must 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 must love your neighbour as yourself.  There is no commandment greater than these.”

(Today’s Gospel)
