Why the Commandments? | Sixth Sunday of Easter
Published 1 day ago
Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Christ’s words in John 14: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
At first glance, this can sound like a condition or a demand. But Jesus is not manipulating us or imposing external rules. He is revealing something deeper: love and obedience are inseparable.
The commandments are not arbitrary restrictions. They express who Jesus is. Those who are united to Him begin to live as He lives.
To love Christ is to be conformed to Him—and those who are conformed to Him naturally keep His commandments.
