“Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall 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: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:28b-31
LOVE is our Lenten theme and focus as we see what this greatest commandment entails, means, and how it should be played out.
This first week will look at the first part of the commandment – that we cannot love unless we know Who it is we are called to Love: the One True, Triune God!
Not other ‘gods’; not other people; not ourselves. Him and Him alone! He is God! He is who we are Called to Love! Anything else is idolatry!
Scriptures
- Deuteronomy 6:1–9
