“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31 NIV
Reflection:
We cannot love God without serving and caring for our neighbour. Both are intertwined, for when we truly know God, we know his ways; and reach out to those made in his image and likeness. The second part is we cannot love and serve our neighbour alone, for to do so we require strength and grace, while we may have the strength, grace is a gift from God.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to know, love and serve him and reach out to your neighbour. May you emulate Jesus in all his ways and may you be led by his Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones:)
