"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
"Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
Many times we try to make compromises with God. Wanting to live a holy life but without the sacrifices that God demands of us. Certainly, there are precepts and commandments from God that some of us would find easy:
Honor your father and mother. Do not kill.
Honor your father and mother. Do not kill.
And there are some which we personally find challenging.
Sometimes, we may feel as if God is a stern father who watches our every move, waiting to make a mistake, imposing disciplines that we may find confusing or worse infringing our personal freedom.

But the law of God is nothing more than the law of love.
"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.”
"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.”
A saint said, “Love and do what you want.” But it is a love that is defined by God, not by our personal whims and preferences. Human love must conform to that Divine love revealed to us by Jesus.
That love is nothing else but pure selflessness. Love is being “for” others, a mode of existence defined by nothing else but willing the good of the other.
Loving can be simple but the simple are hardly the easiest.
