The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”  MT 22:34-40

Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law, tested him by asking,
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
He said to him,
“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”  MT 22:34-40

The Truth takes a large amount of information to teach and defend.  We have a very long catechism.  We have a lot of information to learn in our doctrine, our creed, our prayers, morality, interpreting the Scriptures, the meaning of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, sacraments, and evangelization.  Jesus reminds us to keep two things on our minds and heart constantly and the rest will come later.  “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.The second is like it:You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus is quoting the first commandment from Deuteronomy in which it is also said to keep these words forever on our lips, post them on the door post, teach them to our children and never allow them to die.  Jesus gives us the second commandment in the New Testament.  The interesting thing is you must love yourself before you can love others.  We must look into our hearts and befriend Jesus Christ and God the Father.  We come to know Jesus and our Creator by coming to know ourselves and then loving who God made us to be.  We must have a positive image of our self.  Then, we can love God who created us, Jesus, our Savior, and our neighbor.  Last, love is at the heart of the message.  If we are to bring anyone including ourselves to Christ, we must “love one another as I have loved you” and “there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends”.  

Today’s challenge: Start praying and worshiping God daily and throughout the day.  See Him in everyone you come in contact with and everything in nature around you.  Start loving who God created you to be and in return love Him back and others, they go hand in hand.

Be a servant, become a saint!
