Pietà Lenten Series–Fr Sean Cullen–Law and Love (Fr Sean Cullen says that in the Gospel for this coming Wednesday Jesus gives us his version of the law-and-order debate that the leadership were having with the people of God. This debate has been going on for a long time. Jesus assures his disciples that he has come, not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. On one side were the scribes and Pharisees, to them, the Law was everything. On the other side was Jesus with his concern for people. How could concern for people and commitment to the Law come together? Which was valid? For Jesus, both. As he saw it, the Law was intended for the protection and enrichment of life. We need rules. We need precedents. We need guidelines if we are to live authentically in this morally confused world. But people must remain primary creating a beautiful blend of law and love.)
