In today’s gospel reading, Jesus is asked by the Pharisees which, among the 613 Jewish commandments, is the greatest? Jesus answers them with a verse from Deuteronomy 6:5, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”

Then He follows it up with another commandment taken from Leviticus 19:18, “ love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

So which is the most important?

This is the 500th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
