March Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
Lent is the perfect time to practice the gift of love and form a lifelong habit. How are we doing on the following commandment of love?
When asked which commandment was the most important, Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37–39)
