ST. MAXIMUS FIVE

#16........"He who loves Me, says the Lord, will keep My commandments, and this is my commandment, that you love one another." Thus he who does not love his neighbor fails to keep the commandment, and so cannot love the Lord."

How literally do we have to take this commandment? Well, God put it with His FIRST, saying it is "like unto the first." That means all other commandments and laws and rules and traditions line up underneath it. If we really believed that, Christians would change the world! I wonder what Jesus thinks about our claim that we know and practice our faith? That we are good Catholics, even though we love very selectively?
