“At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:17-19. St. Ignatius of Loyola said, It is not hard to obey when we love the one whom we obey.
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, Your commandments are difficult for us to keep by our own strength. Yet when You abide in us and we abide in You, all things become possible through Your grace. Grant us the strength to remain united with You, that we may faithfully obey Your will and fulfill Your commandments in love. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
