Introduction to Sunday's Liturgy

It seems that we often think of the commandments
as external rules given to u s that we have to follow.
But in today’s readings, we learn that the most basic
commandments are already part of us; we only have
to carry them out. And so as we gather in God’s
presence today, may we pray to discover God’s
commands within us and learn how to follow them
in our lives. The Scriptures challenge u s to examine
the world around us to discover just who our
neighbors are. The law of love is not something that
is beyond our reach. As believers, the law is planted
within us. Let us find in today’s Scriptures the
inspiration and strength we need to be Christ for one
another.
