We live under a new covenant of grace through Christ, and our obedience to God's word is key to our commitment to Him. Let us declare and keep our commitment to Christ, knowing the joy of our incorruptible inheritance. Read more...

Francisco Diaz S.: The first commandment of the law of God is the most important and through which we enter the spiritual life. - "You shall love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself." Modern men love themselves more than their neighbor and the business of the world are a priority; they relegate God only to difficult times. - We have to recognize ourselves to adopt a spiritual life. - LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS.
Francisco, your words reflect a profound truth. As you mention, the first commandment to love God above all things is fundamental in our spiritual life, as highlighted in Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas’ devotional. It is true that in this modern world, business and self-love are often prioritized over loving God and neighbor. However, recognizing the importance of adopting a spiritual life centered on loving God above all things is the first step toward true transformation. Let us remember Jesus’ words in Mark 12:30-31, where He urges us to love God with all our being and our neighbor as ourselves. This commandment sums up the essence of love and the priority we must give to God in our lives. May we continue to grow in our love and commitment to the Lord, always seeking to honor Him in all we do. May the love of God fill our hearts and guide us toward a life of dedication and service to Him and our neighbor! God bless you on your journey of loving God above all things!

May the Lord continue to guide and bless your project, so that it can be a light of hope and love in the lives of homeless children. May your service be honored by God and may you be an instrument of His love and mercy in every step you take. May your commitment and dedication to this noble cause be abundantly rewarded by the Lord.
