Teach Only Love

Canon S45, f3.2, 1/4 sec

"A teacher of the Law had been listening to this discussion and admired how Jesus answered them. So he came up and asked him, 'Which commandment is the first of all?'

"Jesus answered, 'The first is : Hear, Israel! The Lord, our God, is one lord; and you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. And after this comes another one: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these two.'

"The teacher of the Law said to him, 'Well-spoken, Master; you are right when you say that he is one and htere is no other. To love him with all our heart, with all our understanding and with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves is more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice.'

"Jesus approved this answer and said, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.' But after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions."

MARK 12:28-34

"Father, constantly guide us as we live your greatest commandment.
May we be able to exemplify it in our daily lives."
