St. John Eudes

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "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"  (Matthew 22: 34-40).

Do you love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind? This is an awesome goal to have and a lofty one. It requires putting God first all the time.

Blessed Mother, God was always first in your life, help me out!
