Dear Friend in the Lord,
Jesus’ Commandments: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims that His Teachings of the “Good News of Salvation” are “commandments” that are the most precious on earth. Ponder on, “Do we live Jesus’ Good News with great joy and fidelity, or do our lives mislead others into sin, division and evil?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 5:17-19
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved.
‘Therefore, the man who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of Heaven; but the man who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of Heaven.’
