How do we know were on the right track to heaven? Jesus offers some clear guidelines in today’s Gospel, as an examination of conscience, they’re both simple and far reaching. What does loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength look like in family life? Can we honestly say that our neighbors — the people who literally live closest to us — know our love? Following Jesus will mean ordering our lives around these commands. How well do we live up to them?
