Father, I confess that I have loved myself more than You at junctures too numerous to fathom. However, in loving myself before You and others, I have actually not loved myself at all. For it is only in loving and being loved by You first that I am loved and am then able to pour out true love on my neighbor.
"Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments." The Gospel of Matthew 22:36-40
