Book of Deuteronomy 6,2-6.
because you fear the Lord your God observing for all the days of your life, you, your son and the son of your son, all his laws and all his commands that I give you and so your life is long.
Listen, O Israel, and take care to put them into practice; so that you may be happy and grow in number in the country where milk and honey flow, like the Lord, God of your fathers, has told you.
Listen, Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is one.
You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.
These precepts which I am giving you today are fixed in your heart;

Salmi 18(17),2-3a.3bc-4.47.51ab.
I love you, Lord, my strength,
Lord, my rock, my fortress, my liberator.
My God, my cliff, where I find shelter;
my shield and bulwark, my powerful salvation.

I invoke the Lord, worthy of praise,
and I will be saved from my enemies.
Long live the Lord and bless my cliff,
the God of my salvation be exalted.

He grants his king great victories,
shows himself faithful to his consecrated person,

Letter to the Hebrews 7,23-28.
Furthermore, they became priests in large numbers, because death prevented them from lasting long;
instead he, because he remains forever, possesses a priesthood that does not set.
Therefore he can perfectly save those who through him draw close to God, being always alive to intercede in their favor.
Such was in fact the high priest we needed: holy, innocent, spotless, separated from sinners and raised above the heavens;
he does not need every day, like the other high priests, to offer sacrifices first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he has done this once and for all, offering himself.
The law in fact constitutes high priests men subject to human weakness, but the word of the oath, subsequent to the law, constitutes the Son who has been made perfect forever.

From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Mark 12,28b-34.
At that time, one of the scribes approached Jesus and asked him, "What is the first of all the commandments?"
Jesus replied: «The first is: Listen, Israel. The Lord our God is the only Lord;
therefore you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your strength.
And the second is this: You will love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment more important than these. "
Then the scribe said to him: «You have said well, Master, and according to the truth that He is unique and there is none other than him;
love him with all your heart, with your whole mind and with all your strength and love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices ».
Seeing that he had answered wisely, he said to him: "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And nobody had the courage to question him anymore.
