In this Sunday’s Gospel, the Pharisees are again trying to test Jesus. They were well aware that there are many laws in the first five books of the Bible—the books the Jews call the Torah, or the Law. The Pharisees asked Jesus which law was the greatest. Jesus answered at once: To love God with your whole self and to love your neighbor as yourself. Then Jesus gave the reason these two laws are important—because all the other laws depend on these two commandments. This week is a wonderful opportunity for your class and family to celebrate your love for God and your love for one another.
