Mark 12:28-34
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" Jesus answered, "The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

An gugma ni God amo’y makabuntog nan tanan.
Kuman, an pangutana: uno ma’y tagkinahang’lan ni God dato?
An gusto ni God gikan dato na mahipadayag nato an ato pagmahal kay gugma man Sija mismo ugsa na an tanan na Ija tagmugna naka-base sa Ija gugma sa tanan.
Amo na an gugma ni God amo’y mauna gajud permi despuwes, an ato gugma sa ato isig’katawo kinahang’lan naka’angkla 'sab permi sa gugma Nija.
Pinaka-marajaw gajud na dawaton nato an gugma ni God na Ija tagbutang sa ato mga kasing-kasing pinaagi nan Holy Spirit para nato madawat an Ija mga grasya na makasunod sa Ija sugo – na mahalon nato Sija sanan mahalon ‘sab nato an ato isig’katawo.

"We love you, O our God; and we desire to love you more and more. Grant to us that we may love you as much as we desire, and as much as we ought. O dearest friend, who has so loved and saved us, the thought of whom is so sweet and always growing sweeter, come with Christ and dwell in our hearts; that you keep a watch over our lips, our steps, our deeds, and we shall not need to be anxious either for our souls or our bodies. Give us love, sweetest of all gifts, which knows no enemy. Give us in our hearts pure love, born of your love to us, that we may love others as you love us. O most loving Father of Jesus Christ, from whom flows all love, let our hearts, frozen in sin, cold to you and cold to others, be warmed by this divine fire. So help and bless us in your Son."
