Today Father Martin was officiated at Thorpe-le-Soken so Father Mervyn, back from helping at St. Mary’s, Ilford presided and preached. He preached on the question posed by the lawyer to Jesus “which is the greatest commandment” He pointed out that the answer Jesus gave of “loving God” with the corollary that we should love our neighbours as ourselves were two sides of the same coin. We must love our neighbour if we love God; if we don’t love our neighbour we can’t love God. Father Mervyn then pointed out that our neighbour included both those we liked as well as those we didn’t.
