Which is the first of all the commandments?  Jesus replied,                   
"This is the first:  Listen Israel, the Lord our God is the one                
and only God, and you must love the Lord your God with all                     
your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all               
your strength.  The second is this:  You must love Your                        
neighbor as yourself."                                                         
                                                                               
Now may God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, grant you the                   
gift of both the desire and strength to do this.  Amen.
