Haiku
of the essential
Some Pharisees came
to ask another
question;
to test and trick
him.
Which is the
greatest?
Of all of God’s
commandments
which is number one?
No hesitation.
Love the Lord with
all your heart,
and your mind and
soul.
But wait now,
there’s more:
You have to love
your neighbour
like you love
yourself.
Forget all the rest,
live according to
love’s rule!
Nothing else matters
Good answer, Jesus.
With love, grace and
forgiveness
the world is
transformed.
