LET IT BE KNOWN THIS DAY
Jesus teaches us reverence for God's law of love and the
meaning of true freedom... Let it be known this day that we will walk in the
path of life as Jesus showed us by following God's Commandments!
How do you view the
"Law of God," negatively or positively? In Paul's Second Letter to
the Corinthians, his main concern is to defend his ministry as an Apostle.
Paul's credentials are challenged and he responds by affirming that his
qualifications come from God alone. He is called to be a minister of the New
Covenant!
Jesus teaches us
reverence for God's law of love and the meaning of true freedom. We witness His
numerous examples of honor and complete abandonment to God during His earthly
ministry. We see Jesus' devout reverence for the Lord's Day; His respect for
parents, for life and for property, for another person's good name, and respect
for oneself and for one's neighbor. Reverence and respect for God's
Commandments teach us the way of love - love of God and love of each other.
What is impossible for
humans is possible for God and for those of us who have faith in our heavenly
Father. God gives us the grace to love as He loves, to forgive as He forgives,
to think as He thinks, and to act as He acts. In the Responsorial Psalm we
acclaim, "Holy is the Lord our God" (Ps 99:9c), for He is forgiving.
Let it be known this day that we will walk in the path of life as Jesus showed
us by following God's Commandments!
