You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your being and with all your might; and you shall love each other as oneself (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, the shema; Leviticus 19:18).

‘Serve the LORD with all your heart’ ; the pure in heart will see God (1 Samuel 12:20; Matthew 5:8).

Observe these carefully, for by these you will give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations.

To love God, and neighbour as oneself, is to be not far from the kingdom of God (Mark 12:28-34).

Whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:19).

God has given His Word, His Wisdom, to us, to be a blessing, to be the light of Life to the nations (John 8:12).

Let us take care and earnestly be on our guard, to not forget the things our own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from our memories, but to teach these commandments of life and love to our children and our children’s children (Deuteronomy 4:9).

Let us not be ashamed of the Gospel; let our good works give Glory to the Wisdom of God our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:15-16).

Our Judeo-Christian Tradition has given us the Law, civil law, the hospital, the university, a human economy and a living family wage, and the inspiration for the UN Declaration of Human Rights by insisting on the sacredness of all human life (see Thomas Woods’ How the Catholic Church built Western Civilization).

Outside of this Tradition, on Christ’s Way of the Cross, and now, we have only those asking, ‘what is truth?’ (John 18:38).
