In
today's Gospel- St. Matthew 22:34-40- one of the Sadducees tries to test
Jesus by asking him which is the most important commandment in the Law.
Jesus replies, "You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart,
with all your soul and with all your mind".
Then he says there is another, very similar commandment, which comes next-
"You shall love your neighbour as yourself".
The whole Law and the Prophets- in other words, everything which really
matters in life- are founded on these two commandments.
Everything God does is about love. All that really matters in our lives
is about love. This is what makes us happy. We talked about how we show
we love God and other people. Sometimes this is much harder than others!
We made hearts on which we wrote the names of the people we love, including
those of people we do not really like. |

Dear
Jesus,
Thank you for loving us. Teach us how to love you and how to love each
other.
Sometimes it is not easy to love each other- help us when we find it
hard.
Amen. |
