I need only choose to sin and once again I taste the bitter dryness of not having You my Lord in my life. Guilt and sorrow fill my days for a while, thereafter I seek thrills and excitement often sinful ones to fill up the void in my life. I walk among the living yet I have no life in me. Breathe on me breath of my Lord and God that I may live! That I may love and be loved!
Truly You are love O God! For my cup is overflowing as I bask in Your love. I did nothing to deserve Your love and yet You gave it to me all the same. I truly love You with all my heart and my soul.
Before I could not love my neighbour as I love myself. Because I had a selfish narcissistic kind of love. How could I love the least of my brethren? The kind of neighbour I am called to love. I realise now that I could not because I knew not what true love was? Love that only comes from You.
Fill me Lord with Your love O Lord that I may share it with 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.”
