Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

In today's Gospel passage , Jesus says the greatest commandment of all is, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind.”  Do we manifest this in our lives ? Do we make any attempts? How much of our heart do we normally give to God? Are we restricted in how much love we give the Living God, who gave us His only Son! How often are our minds, our thoughts, dedicated to him? What’s the state of our soul right now? Is it filled with God's presence, or far short of that? If we really love God, we’re going to want to spend time with him through daily prayer, attending Mass( Daily Masses too)  and reading the Bible, surfing through Catholic websites like EWTN.com . If we really love God, we’re going to want to please him, just as we desire to please those we love here on earth. If we really love God, we’re going to give our lives to him, just as we make all types of sacrifices for those we love here on earth. Are you utterly in love with God?

Jesus loves you!

Father Lionel Thomas
