God's Wondrous Law

God’s Law is his Word that guides man on his life’s journey, it leads him out of the slavery of egoism and brings him into the “land” of true freedom and life. For this reason in the Bible the Law is not seen as a burden, an oppressive limitation, but as a precious gift of the Lord, the witness of his paternal love, of his will to be near his people, of being their ally and writing a history of love with them. 

~Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus Message of 9/2/12


Open my eyes, that I may see the wonders of your law.  ~Psalm 119(118):18
