The 1^st Commandment

 

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.

 

It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’"  

[Catechism of the Catholic Church]

 

Thomas a' Kempis wrote, "Nothing is sweeter than love; nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more generous, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in Heaven or on earth; for love proceeds from God and cannot rest but in God above all things created."

[Imitation of Christ, p. 87]

 

Jesus told us to love God and love our neighbor, so let’s do that today.

 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.

St. Francis de Sales, pray for us.

May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.
