A New Law

Readings for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Exodus 22:20-26; Matthew 22:34-40We do Jesus a disservice to think that he did not deal with the many struggles we have to deal with today.  He went from conflict to conflict - and we see another one today.  Once again, the Pharisees are trying to trap him.  But once again, he sidesteps their efforts.  And in doing so, Jesus gives us a new law.  But the difference is that this law invites us into the stew.  This law needs us to discern and step out in faith.  This law is not external and merely seeks our obedience.  This law is internal - and leads us to relationship and the building up of the body.  All it costs is our willingness to be stretched beyond who we are right now.  And that can be a steep price.Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music.  And thank you to you for your interest in diving deeper into the Word of God.  Comments?  I can be reached at [email protected].  Thanks for joining me on this journey!
