Lord, show me one neighbor to love well today — with action, not just intention.

40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
