Thank You, Sharon Seidel
One of the scribes asked Jesus, "Which commandment is the greatest of all?"
Mark 12:28
Everyone knows Jesus' answer: Love God and love our neighbor. But often people disagree about how we should love God and about who our neighbor is. In all those situations, blessed are those whose primary concern still remains: am I acting out of love of God and love of neighbor?
