31st Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year B - November 3, 2024

Pasensya kung natagalan at nabusy sa school. Ang tema na nasa baba ay pwede po ninyong maging basehan upang makagawa kayo ng inyong sariling line-up ng kanta sa darating na linggo. You can practice also the songs of Hangad that I posted through a youtube video link. They are good and liturgical kasi alam kong may iba dito na belong sa mga parish na ang mga Parish priests are very sensitive in terms of songs kung liturgical ba talaga o hindi.
 
On the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we reflect on key teachings from Deuteronomy, Hebrews, and the Gospel of Mark. These readings guide us in understanding love, obedience, and Jesus’ eternal priesthood.

• Love of God: In Deuteronomy, we are commanded to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength. This shows the importance of putting God first in our lives.

• Obedience to Commandments: Deuteronomy also calls us to keep God’s commandments. Obeying these commandments brings us closer to God and guides our actions.

• Jesus’ Eternal Priesthood: Hebrews emphasizes that Jesus is our eternal high priest. His priesthood is perfect and unchanging, unlike the priests of the old covenant.

• Perfect Sacrifice: Jesus offers himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. This sacrifice is once and for all, showing his great love and mercy.

• Greatest Commandments: In Mark, Jesus teaches that the greatest commandments are to love God and love our neighbor. These two commandments summarize the entire law and the prophets.

• Unity of Love and Law: Jesus’ teaching in Mark unites love and law. True love for God naturally leads to loving others and keeping God’s commandments.

Reflecting on these themes for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B helps us grow in our faith and understanding. On the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B, we are reminded of God’s love and our call to love him and others.
