He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Luke 10:27

Oxford United celebrated their return to the Championship for the first time since 1999 with a deserved 2-0 victory over Norwich City.

Talismanic striker Mark Harris got the U's first goal in the second tier this century after seizing on an error by Canaries skipper Grant Hanley before cutting inside Shane Duffy and squeezing the ball through the legs of Angus Gunn.

Cameron Brannagan doubled the advantage just before the hour mark after curling home from the edge of the box following a pinpoint cross from Sam Long.

The Canaries' best chance came late on but Jack Stacey's goalbound effort was blocked by U's left-back Joe Bennett in a difficult first game for new City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup.

Britain's Caden Cunningham will bid for Olympic taekwondo gold later on Saturday - and Rebecca McGowan will fight again for a chance at bronze.

Cunningham, competing at his first Olympics, stunned Rio 2016 champion Cheick Sallah Cisse in the men's +80kg semi-finals.

The pair were tied at 1-1 going into the final round of the best-of-three match - and, as the clock ticked down, the score in the decider was level at 5-5.

But Cunningham, 21, was judged to have had more shots and was declared the winner.

Cunningham will face Iran's Arian Salimi in the final at 20:18 BST, knowing he is guaranteed at least a silver medal in Paris.

Asked how he would prepare for the final, Cunningham said: "Chill, eat a banana, drink, smile and warm up.

"I plan to come out victorious, so happy days."

Bianca Cook, a two-time Olympic bronze medallist for GB, praised Cunningham's maturity during the fight.

"That match was going to be so tight, down the wire, but Caden kept his cool," she said on BBC TV.

"They're both such strong characters. They knew what they needed to do to get the edge over each other and Caden was fantastic."

Doncaster got their League Two campaign off to a blistering start as they thumped Accrington at the Eco-Power Stadium.

Manager Grant McCann made the title the primary goal for his side after suffering play-off agony last season.

And his players showed their determination to rise to the challenge as a Luke Molyneux brace plus strikes from Jordan Gibson and Billy Sharp saw Rovers surge clear.

Gibson struck the post early with a powerful drive but the first half produced few chances until Molyneux slotted home from 12 yards in the 43rd minute.

Tyler Walton headed home an equaliser for Accrington from a Connor O’Brien cross two minutes into the second half.

Rovers were back in front after 62 minutes when Molyneux smashed in a piledriver from 30 yards.

Gibson marked his debut for the club by extending the lead with a fine curling effort from 20 yards in the 68th minute.

Fellow summer signing Sharp – a decade on from his last appearance for Doncaster – hooked in after 87 minutes to put the icing on the cake for Rovers.

Newly-promoted Bromley made the perfect start to life in the Football League as they got the better of Harrogate on the opening day of their League Two campaign.

Andy Woodman’s Ravens, who followed in the Sulphurites’ footsteps by escaping non-league for the first time in their 132-year history by winning the National League play-off final at Wembley, triumphed 2-0 at Wetherby Road.

There were no goals during the opening period, though visiting striker Michael Cheek did see a goal-bound header from Cameron Congreve’s corner cleared off the line by Harrogate’s Levi Sutton.

Jude Arthurs, Congreve and Kamarl Grant also went close for Bromley, with Town limited to a couple of efforts from outside the box.

Cheek then broke the deadlock just after the hour-mark, turning home Idris Odutayo’s drilled effort at goal.

And the Ravens’ lead was doubled just nine minutes later as Kamarl Grant nodded in from an Arthurs corner.

Harrogate debutant Ellis Taylor forced an awkward save from Grant Smith with a late free-kick, however that was about as close as the home side would come.

Monday is forecast be the hottest day of the year so far but the hot and humid weather will not be everywhere and will not last long.

The sudden change in our weather is partly due to Tropical Storm Debby, which brought flooding rains to the eastern US.

Emily Campbell and Emma Finucane won two bronze medals for Team GB on the final day of Olympic action in Paris.

Campbell sealed bronze in the women's +81kg weightlifting, while Finucane completed her impressive debut appearance at the Olympics with bronze in the women's individual sprint.

There was disappointment, however, for Jack Carlin in the velodrome as the Briton crashed in the last lap of the men's keirin final.

Pier Giorgio Frassati (6 April 1901 – 4 July 1925) was an Italian Catholic activist and a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic. He was dedicated to Catholic social justice issues and joined several charitable organizations, including Catholic Action and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, to better aid the poor and less fortunate living in his hometown of Turin; he put his own pious beliefs into practice to cater to their needs and was best known for his devotion and amiable character.

Frassati was an avid mountaineer who often climbed with his friends; he was an able swimmer and athlete best known for engaging in such social activities with a range of like-minded friends. His charitable outreach towards others knew no bounds for he identified with and aided the poor and ill from his childhood. His social status granted him greater freedom in aiding others who needed it most.

His cause for canonization opened in 1932 after the Turin poor made several pleas for such a cause to open. Pope Pius XII suspended the cause in 1941 due to a range of allegations later proven to be false, which allowed for the cause to resume. Pope John Paul II beatified Frassati in May 1990 and dubbed him the "Man of the Eight Beatitudes". He is set to be canonized in 2025.

‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Acts 17:28

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Monday has been declared the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, reaching 34.8C (95F) in Cambridge, according to the Met Office.

The higher temperatures have been confined to central and southern England and yellow heat health alerts are in place for millions of people.

Others experienced a wetter start to the day, with torrential rain further north - for which a now-expired yellow thunderstorm warning was in place.

Forecasters said Monday would see the peak of the current heat spike, with temperatures due to ease as the week continued.

London, East Anglia and the home counties were forecast to experience the warmest weather.

Temperatures had already exceeded 30C in the capital by midday on Monday, with several sites hitting over 32C by 13:30 BST.

Various parts of London, Writtle in Essex, and Wisley in Surrey all reached 33C - and temperatures of 32C were also recorded in areas ranging from East Malling in Kent to Holbeach in Lincolnshire.

Yellow heat health alerts, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), are active in the East and West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West, North West and London.

They are due to expire by Wednesday morning.

Yellow alerts are issued during periods of hot weather that are only likely to affect those who are particularly vulnerable, for example the elderly, or those with existing health conditions.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom.

Psalm 145:3

Rangers were sent crashing out of the Champions League after Dynamo Kyiv scored twice within two minutes in the closing stages at Hampden Park following the dismissal of home winger Jefte.

Clinical strikes from Oleksandr Pikhalyonok and fellow substitute Nazar Voloshyn mean Rangers drop into the less lucrative Europa League for the second season running.

The Ukrainian visitors head for the Champions League play-off round for the second time in three seasons and will face Salzburg after the Austrian Bundesliga runners-up overcame Twente 5-4 on aggregate following a thrilling 3-3 draw in Enschede.

But, with Rangers and Kyiv level after the first leg in Lublin, the tie in Glasgow swung on the decision to show Jefte a second yellow card five minutes after the break following an aerial challenge on Oleksandr Karavayev.
