Details
Our first reading for Mass this week contains the most sacred prayer in the Jewish tradition, the "Sh'ma". In the Gospel, when asked which commandment is the greatest, Jesus, a pious Jew, recites this prayer from the book of Deuteronomy. Listen as I explicate this central and decisive statement of Biblical faith.
