Scriptures reflection for the day
Friday of the Third Week of Lent
March 12, 2010
Today's Readings:
Hosea 14:2-10

Ps 81:6-11, 14, 17
Mark 12:28-34

To love your neighbor, first love yourself

All of Jesus' teachings can be summed up in today's Gospel reading: "Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself." When we love God fully, we can't help but love everyone else – even the "neighbors" who make our lives difficult.


Think of the person you love the most. Is it the one who's the easiest to serve? Do you enjoy doing good deeds for him or her more than for anyone else? This generous love is a reflection of your love for God.
