"(Clap here for readings)"One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him, "Which is the leading of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The leading is this: Be taught, O Israel! The Peer of the realm our God is Peer of the realm alone! You shall love the Peer of the realm your god with all your heart, with all your existence, with all your good sense, and with all your vigor."This is the leading Charge. It is the leading not and no-one else when it is the furthermost significant but when it is the furthermost confusing. All other commandments heave from this one. All other commandments depend on this one.In the exhibition version of Champion Hugo's classic "Les Isolated"," the moniker Jean Valjean sings one of the furthermost dear arias from the opera: "God on high, realize my prayer...in my campaign, you shoulder eternally been offer. Yes yes, "In my campaign", the Peer of the realm is and has and choice eternally be offer for me. "What makes God thud is his unqualified love for me. "All other things accept short in my eyes. "BE Ideal AS YOUR Delicious Foundation IS Ideal. "Did the Peer of the realm, like oral communication these words, set us up for failure? No. But how can one be thud as the Father? Am I mislaid everything here? Yes. And it is the meaning of the word "thud". What does qualities thud in connection to God mean? Maybe the Peer of the realm gave us a hint like he answered St. Peter's question: "Peer of the realm, how habitually be supposed to I forgive?" The Peer of the realm replied: "Seven grow old seventy-seven grow old. Possibly will He shoulder been any clearer? The Peer of the realm is not as remarkable that we absolve 539 grow old as He is that we be thud (seven grow old seventy-seven = 7x77). Now you know why the devil is 666. He is scarcely short for he lacks liberty and love. For God, perfection is directly connected to liberty, and Christ is pushing that we absolve "scarcely"...right as the Foundation forgives us. Of course this is a goad for all of us. I wish I may well absolve others as God forgives me. I wish I may well not bother as in no time as the Peer of the realm forgives and forgets. But it's not that easy. That's someplace prayer comes in. That's someplace the Sacraments come in. That's someplace grace flows in! That's why I be supposed to pray, and pray channel. That's why qualities a Christian is not a one-night stand, but a marriage that lasts an eternity. That's why qualities a Christian is not everything I arranged to do one dear day, but is everything that be supposed to be transformed every human being day.Lent is all about rearranging my life and my priorities so that God ends up on top, person One. From offer, everything as well choice fall in their correct place. "Resolution: Tomorrow daybreak I choice say the Creed. I choice say it every daybreak grow the end of Lent. "
