**Resonding to God's Love**

        Today is the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene. In the First Reading from Song of Songs 3, the Bride describes how she sought the One whom her soul loves. Indeed, Jesus gives us the greatest commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." We see that loving God only with our heart is not enough. He created our soul, and it is the soul that is most precious to him and loved by him. Therefore, we must respond to him at the soul level. This will please the Lord, and we will surely be saved.
