Love God above all else
August 19, 2022
Dear Family of Mary!
Today’s Gospel reading:
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.” (Mt 22:34-40)
There is nothing more that needs saying. Jesus placed the whole of the Old Testament before us in these three sentences. Don’t you just want to run up and hug him? He is fantastic!!!! And Our Lady can sometimes sound like Him in her messages. She too can say so much with so few words!! Take this message:
“Dear children! Also today I call you to convert and to more firmly believe in God. Children, you seek peace and pray in different ways, but you have not yet given your hearts to God for Him to fill them with His love. So, I am with you to teach you and to bring you closer to the love of God. If you love God above all else, it will be easy for you to pray and to open your hearts to Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (May 25, 1999)
“If you love God above all else, it will be easy for you to pray and to open your hearts to Him…”
We have our homework for the weekend!!! God bless you all!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
