what
was
the

of
all
the
commandments
in
the
Book,
Jesus
answered:
Love

If

asks
us
to
do
this,
then
it
is
possible.

All
things
are
easy
for

In
(Ezek

114),
the
Lord
says:
"I
will

possible
for
us
to
love
God

Baptism,
we
receive
the
Gifts
and
Fruits
of
the
Spirit.
The
first
of
the
twelve
fruits
of
the
Spirit
is
love.
The

of

Where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is,
there
is
liberty .
Liberty
to
always
choose
the
best
which
is
love.
Love
is
the
gift
of
giving
oneself
for
the
good
of
others
it
is
wholly
other
oriented
and
directed
to
the
welfare
and

of
