"Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord,
for you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God."  (Psalm 86: 10 RM)

"Which is the first of all the commandments?”   Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!   You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’"  (Mark 12: 28-31 NABRE)

"To love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself,
is worth more than any sacrifice."  (Cf Mark 12: 13 RM)
