We live by the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
The Great Commandment sums up how we hope to live our lives: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39)
The mission of the Church is, according to Jesus’ Great Commission, to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).
“Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20
