Page 4 - Main Commandment
P. 4
Prayer in the Name of All Men
If they taught you only the love of neighbour, then the fullness of the
Main Commandment according to the divine teaching was not
preached to you. Neither is that the case if they told or taught you
only the first part. For in this way sects generally operate, preaching
only parts of CHRIST’s teaching exactly as it fits in with their plans.
Especially with the Main Commandment this has been happening
for a long time not only on the part of the sects but nearly in the
whole official Church. No man can claim to live up to the love
desired of GOD if he practises only part of the Main Command-
ment.
What do people miss out on! Because he who loves GOD whole-
heartedly will be filled by GOD with countless blessings and tokens
of affection. This in turn enkindles in man the desire to love and give
GOD more and more.
And it is here that the second part of the Main Commandment
comes to man’s aid, because (as it says in Sacred Scripture) the
SAVIOUR Himself does assure: „As long as you did it to one of these
My least brethren, you did it to Me.” And indeed, this promise of
JESUS is a real sheet anchor for anyone who loves GOD with a
glowing heart. For he would be consumed, could he not return
these tokens of GOD’s love as far as he is able. And here he has the
opportunity: he practises the love of neighbour! He is lucky enough
to know that he does it to the LORD Himself. You see, and therefore
the love of neighbour is the second part of the Main Command-
ment, which makes the first part (the love of GOD) perfect. This,
and only this alone, is the Main Commandment! The Main
Commandment of each Christian faithful!
