“Teacher,
which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He
said to
him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind. This
is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The
whole
law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
(Matthew 22:36-40)
“No
one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s
friends.” (John 15:13) Each
Abbey develops their daily life activities starting from this Guiding
Rule.
