After Pentecost     Pentecost 23     Mark 12:28-34


The Two Commandments (YB No 148)
Love gives expression to the faith we own;‘Love God and neighbour’ - This is love made known;Love brings a sacredness to all of lifeIn happiness, in tension and in strife. Jesus said love fulfilled all sacred law;“Love God and neighbour; there is nothing more;All law and prophets on this love depend”Love is enough because it has no end. Jesus said, “When you love in heart and mind‘Love God and neighbour’ - are alike in kind.”When we love neighbours, do not think it oddThat, in so doing, we are loving God. Loving ourselves in true humilityReleases love within, that makes us freeTo love our neighbours in the self same way;Then love of God is surely on display. Jesus showed loving is the way of grace;Walking that way leads to a wholesome place;Loving gives hope when things are turning grey;Loving brings peace - a blessing for each day.
