The Greatest Commandment

“When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.
‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ He said to him,
‘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.’
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’”
Matthew 22:34-40

Lord, teach us how to love as you first loved us. Open our eyes to the concerns of our neighbors near and far, so we may extend to them the same love you have extended to us. Amen.
