LATIN MASS Remember: Father Schneider celebrates the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, sometimes referred to as the traditional Latin Mass, at Christ the King Church every fourth Sunday of the month at 11:30 am.
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." It's not uncommon to associate the word "commands" with images of dictatorship. We can tend to think of commandments as ob-stacles to real freedom, imposed by some angry, powerful ty-rant who just wants to be in control. Call them directions, or suggestions, or guidelines if you will, but not commands! It almost feels like an insult. But today, Jesus breaks out of these stereotypes. He casts the commandments in the con-text of love. He does not insist on any obligation to follow them. Rather, He says that whoever observes His command-ments "is the one who loves Me." So just what commandments will we be following if we love the Lord? When Jesus was questioned about this, He said the two greatest commandments are to "love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind," and to
"love your neighbor as yourself," (Mt 22:37-39). Even the com-mands He gives us are rooted in love, not legalism. Of course, when we follow these principles we will naturally keep the tra-ditional Ten Commandments, which give more specific instruc-tions on how to love God and neighbor. As we know from experience, when we truly love someone, we desire to make them happy. When they are content, we are content. So the more we love Jesus, the more we will want to please Him. Thus, following His commandments ultimately makes us happy, too. Understood in these terms, the com-mandments don't stifle us, they satisfy us! God doesn't restrict our freedom; He respects it. Ultimately, it is our choice wheth-er or not we will live the life of love that Jesus offers us.
