Homily of the Day

Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent

Because God loves us, He gave us the commandments to guide us through the course of our daily lives. If there were no laws to govern a people, there would be much chaos in the world.

Sometimes, some people view the law as such which limits freedom. Others tend to use the law to their own advantage, manipulating and twisting it to oppress rather than using it to protect others. These people see the law as that which makes them all-powerful and controlling, using instead of helping others. Hence some of us feel oppressed by the law, since many of those who are there to enforce the law use it to intimidate and dominate instead of protect and defend.

God’s law sets people free, God’s law is the law of love. When we accept, understand and implement the spirit of God’s Law of Love, we show love, care, respect and generosity towards our fellow man. We seek to improve the lives of others and ourselves, educating our children, helping others become better people and citizens of the world. We employ and empower ourselves and others to become better people. Love begets love. This is a clear cascading of Christian love and being proactive; a clear manifestation and use of God’s commandments.
