At church today, the priest discussed Matthew 22: 34-40. It was about simplifying the Ten Commandments down to 2 basic ideas: to love God with all your heart , soul, and mind; and to love your neighbor as yourself. When I first heard this gospel as a kid, I thought it was marvelous. It's so much easier to remember 2 things as opposed to 10 things. But you know what? It took me almost another 30 years to realize that it is actually even simpler; because those two ideas are actually one and the same.
Each and everyone of us is an atom inside God's body. Each of us is a reflection of our Creator. And each of us is a representative microcosm of this vast macro-cosmic Universe. God resides in everyone of us. We all appear to be different, but we all are made from the same stuff.
