Mark 12, 28-34

Jerusalem Bible: 28. One of the scribes who had listened to them debating appreciated that Jesus had given a good answer and put a further question to him, 'Which is the first of all the commandments?' 29. Jesus replied, 'This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one, only Lord, 30. and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. 31. The second is this: You must love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.' 32. The scribe said to him, 'Well spoken, Master; what you have said is true, that he is one and there is no other. 33. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself, this is far more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice.'  Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.' And after that no one dared to question him any more.

My thoughts: Come Holy Spirit, come beloved blessed you. I understood that to love God above all things we must first know and for that we must listen. The story of our salvation is written in the Bible, knowing that wonderful tradition leads us to Jesus; to find God and to know we love him above all things reciprocate because he loves us dearly
