The Two Greatest Commandments

The greatest two commandments; that we love God with all our heart, soul and mind and that that we love our neighbors as ourselves (Mt 22: 36-40), are summarized in the following quote by St. Catherine of Siena.

“Reflect that God requires nothing of us except that we show our neighbors the love we have for God.” St. Catherine of Siena, Letter T89

St Catherine’s life (1347 – 1380 A.D.) personified this quote; as her love for God grew this love poured forth from her onto the people that she met.  St. Catherine of Siena’s feast day was April 29th.
