"One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'" Mark 12:28-30
Day 23 of our Lenten journey: Jesus first gets our attention: "Hear, O Israel!", what He is about to say is important then He tells us, ""No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24. A different way of saying: The Lord our God is Lord alone! I must decrease so he can increase. Love in any relationship requires us to take "I" and replace it with the other, therefore the need to listen. Grow deeper in love with God through listening. And when we are listening we will: "Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will act" Psalms 37:5. God gave us His Son, He will give you what you need, listen and love Him with all your heart.
Dear Father, You inflame my heart to know You more and more, in knowing You, I am changing and becoming Your other self. Thank You for Your love and Your patience. I lift up a brother under the influence of addiction, may the hounds of Heaven not stop until He is home safely in Your Sacred Heart. Prayers for my guardian angel, and all those sent to protect us. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Innocent, pray for us.
God is amazing!!!!
