Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Greatest Commandment”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed that the ‘greatest commandment of God is, “To love God with all your heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as yourself.” Ponder on, “Do we live this commandment daily or do we live in self-centred ways, at the expense of loving God and our neighbours?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 22:34-40
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to disconcert him, one of them put a question, ‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’
Jesus said, ‘You must 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 resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets also.’
