Jesus teaches us the two Great<br />
Commandments: to love God and to love<br />
our neighbor.<br />
The Great Commandments are a summary<br />
of the Ten Commandments and the whole<br />
Law of God.<br />
To love our neighbor means to love<br />
everyone we encounter.<br />
To love God means to love our neighbor,<br />
which is a sign of being a disciple of<br />
Christ.<br />

BIBLICAL TOUCHSTONES<br />
He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your<br />
God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and<br />
with all your mind. This is the greatest and the<br />
first commandment. The second is like it: You<br />
shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole<br />
law and the prophets depend on these two<br />
commandments.”<br />
This is how all will know that you are my<br />
disciples, if you have love for one another.<br />
