In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 22, Jesus said to a Pharisee, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." Indeed, God is love, and love is the answer to all our problems! In practice, loving our neighbor presents us with the greatest challenge today when evil is so prevalent that there aren't that many people you can fully trust anymore. So what are we to do? This much I know: If we love the Lord, he'll never subject us to any test we cannot pass. He knows each of us thoroughly and is merciful. So trust in him and follow him faithfully and you'll come thru fine.
