Daily Inspiration

“Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.” -Matthew 5:17-19

When Jesus came, He gave us all of Himself, and with that gift comes great responsibility. But sin clouds our minds to the reality of this Truth.

“Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” -Luke 12:48

No longer is the law a list of burdens and chores. Because Christ Jesus touches us, breaking even the smallest part becomes repugnant to us.

Pope Saint Leo III, pray for us.
