The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God!
for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me
Matthew 25:35
‘…you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength…. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.
Mark 12:30-31
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
