Love God, Love Neighbor
Jesus is asked what is the greatest commandment, and he says, quoting Deuteronomy 6:5, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' (Lev. 19:18)" In many ways, the directive to love God and love our neighbor is so basic to our Christian faith...and, yet, it is not simple. We could reflect for a long time on what it means...and, in fact, I think God wants us to reflect on this for our whole lives...being open to how God calls us to love each day.
