Matthew 22:34–40
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus 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
neighbour as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets."
Reflection
Can I feel that Jesus wants me to be where he is, drawn
fully into the life of God?
How can I be drawn beyond myself into loving contact with
those around me?
