Jesus tells the Pharisee in the Gospel reading that the whole of the Law comes down to the commands to love God and love one another.
The reading from Exodus, containing specifics of the Law, focuses love as a practical matter of action toward helping those who are in need. These are the people God loves and desires to help. And as we aid them in Love, we do as God does, and join ourselves with His love. This is the Love that brought us alive, and turned us toward worshiping the one true God.
