Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross 

BULLETIN CONNECTION

Wouldn't it be great if we heard people clamoring to put up two tables with the commandments on them? Not the Ten Commandments which politicians have attempted to turn into some sort of test of values. But the commandments that Jesus enunciates in today's Gospel: "Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."

In all the talk about a public display of the commandments, it seems that the words of Jesus get lost in the desire to raise up a selected portion of the Old Testament. The two commandments that come from Jesus contain the whole law, he tells us.

A simple summary of the law doesn't always explain how to act in particular circumstances. But if the two commands Jesus gave us aren't engraved in our hearts it will be even more difficult to act.
