Another lesson from Jesus’ rebuke of Judas may be
difficult for us to accept. The poor will always be with
us no matter our efforts to observe the second great
commandment. Nevertheless, if we observe the first
great commandment, God will give us the grace to
overcome our human limitations in observing the
second. We must, however, be open to His presence
in our lives. Otherwise we become like Judas and the Pharisees seeking to
remove Him from our lives.

Dear Lord, help me to place You first in my heart, my soul and my mind,
and give me the strength and willingness to serve you and my brother and
sister, in Your Name. Amen.
