scripture

 

Matthew 22:36-40

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

As long as anyone has the means of doing good to his neighbors, and does not do so, he shall be reckoned a stranger to the love of the Lord.

Irenaeus

 

thought

 

I asked a friend, “What good is it to have peace with men but have not peace with God?”

She responded, ““Peace with God is a prerequisite to having peace with men.  Living peaceably with men is evidence of having peace with God.”

scripture

 

Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?"  For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

thought

 

Though we, finite beings, attempt to understand that which is infinite, with our limited capacities, it is no less worthy an endeavor than if we were fully capable to understand that which is beyond knowing fully. Thus, we strive to know with ever-increasing certainty because ambiguity is not for theologians.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
