Which is the first of all the commandments?

“’He is One and there is no other than he.’ And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” (MK 12: 32-33)

“Which is the first of all the commandments?” What is my main identity? Where should I invest all my efforts?—we have many important questions, but the only answers come from our Lord. When we spend time with Him and listen to Him, we know all “which,” “what,” “where” and “how” answers because He knows perfectly why we exist.

“Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord; and my father will love him and we will come to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
