And of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

Matthew 22:35-39

God and others. Let’s orient our hearts there this Easter.
