 Without the love of his neighbor, nothing exists
This new command is superimposed and juxtaposed with you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind and with all your strength. The both are one because they are inseparable

St. Mark 12.28-34.
Mk 12:28 -A scribe who had heard them talk, seeing that he had answered them well, came forward and asked, "What is the first commandment of all?"
Mk 12:29 -Jesus answered: "The first is: Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord,
Mk 12:30 -and thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all thy soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.
Mk 12:31 -This is the second: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. "
Mk 12:32 -The scribe said to him: "Well, Master, you were right to say it is unique and there is none other than Him:
Mk 12:33 -love him with all his heart, with all the understanding and with all his might, and love one's neighbor as oneself, is better than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. "
 

Mk 12:34 -Jesus saw that he had made a remark full of meaning, said, "You're not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared question him.



 
Love your neighbor as yourself.
How to love your neighbor
Jesus gives us a new commandment, but is it new?
In this little phrase of Jesus, should read like 3 times, we read this sentence in its entirety, not just remember "Love thy neighbor" but follow Jesus' words: "as yourself".
Prior to love each other must be therefore to love yourself!
Loving means taking care of yourself, how to care for his neighbor by not taking care of ourselves
So we're like 2 times then we must go back in the text
you love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, ...
The need for truly loving our neighbor, to lead him to eternal life, we must love God, the third faith: love
In these days when love is overused, misunderstood, reduced to any banality of life, we must find true love, one that has existed since the beginning of time that we live.
In these days when the loving faithfulness where faithfulness is friendly too often relayed by the rejection of one who becomes "OTHER" the consoling words of the scribes asked Jesus, are made for each of us
love him with all his heart, with all the understanding and with all his might, and love one's neighbor as oneself, is better than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. "
But why the greatest commandment?
Love comes from God, love is in God, for us, and it is this same love that we must turn to God.
Only the love of God makes man capable of loving.
Forms of love are many but all are expressed in the greatness of heart.
Without any real love listening to others and could not exist together without listening to the other love does not form.
Love is his neighbor, an absolute injunction, a command without appeal, all other command of God are linked to this love of neighbor
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU AND EVEN IN THE FACE THEREOF: YOU WILL SEE GOD
