Chris.
We are to love our neighbour. Jesus Christ said that this is the second-most important thing that we can do, the first, of course, being to love the Lord our God. Loving our neighbour is much more difficult than loving God because our neighbour, although they may be very nice, is not perfect. Let us respond positively to these Words of Jesus and love our neighbour.
