The scripture for this Sunday invites us to reflect on what it means to walk in God’s way of love. We all must choose how we are to follow the wisdom of God so that we can love one another without counting the cost. The commandments are not simply rules but God’s invitation to love.

We must go to a deeper level of commitment in our search for God’s will in our lives. The entire scripture reflects God’s wisdom. Jesus breaks into our human history as the fulfillment of God’s commandments. How has Jesus’ presence in our lives made a difference?

The call to love and to have respect for each other is at the heart of Jesus’ presence among us. He tells us that this journey is not easy. Using Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount as a model, we claim our title as “Blessed.”

God never gets tired of calling us to love at a deeper level. Focusing on this call, we can find hope and peace that God’s actions in our lives will change the face of the earth for the better.
