The consequence of following God

Mark 12:28-34

What exactly happens when we don't go back to the Lord?

what would happen if after all this time of receiving the Lord in the Blessed Eucharist, we are still back to our own selfish, vindictive, materialistic ways as if there's no significant change whether we receive Him or not?  What would happen?  The Lord will still pour to us his overpowering love and blessings, enabling us to really change.

In the Gospel, Jesus laid out the template for real life, "Love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind."  This invitation calls us to leave nothing for ourselves, but to offer our entire being to God for his greater glory and honor.  Unless we live this out, our lives would redound to nothing.

Second, Jesus calls us to love one another as we love ourselves.  This is in the area of giving to others what is due as signs that we are all special in God's eyes.  And it is our desire to bring salvation to all, especially the poor, the deprived, the victims of injustice; the least, the last and the lost.  Our new outlook is to see and serve Jesus in other as we want him to touch our lives forever.
