In today's Gospel reading from Luke 10, a scholar of the law stood up to test Jesus and said, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?" He said in reply,"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He replied to him, "You have answered correctly; do this and you will live." I must admit that to love my neighbor as myself is not easy, and it's thru his mercy that he hasn't really tested me on that yet. As followers of Christ, we need to ask ourselves if we're really following these commandments. To not try to do better amounts to being hypocritical.
