How can we not love Him who loved us first?
Who loves when we are unlovable. Who would do everything to find us when we are lost. Who heals us. Who is always present to comfort us and help us through our darkest moments. Who counsels, guides and teaches us to live a full and fruitful life in and with Him. To share that very kind of love with one another.
Who nourishes us of Himself. Who laid down His life for us, so that we may live. Who has won for us eternal life.
How can we not love our one triune God? How can we not do as He Wills of us in, through and for the love of us all? Amen
GOSPEL
Matthew 22:34–40
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.”
