This Sunday's readings are Sir 15:15-20; 1 Cor 2:6-10; Mt 5:17-37. In the Gospel Jesus teaches his listeners (that's us!) that the laws of God are meant to be taken to heart and that those who live by them will find true freedom.  Many of his listeners were intent upon following the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law.  He gives some very specific examples of what He is talking about to impress upon His listeners that God's laws are laws founded on love - love of God and love of neighbor.  As you prepare for Mass this weekend, here are some questions for reflection:  Do I understand how following God's laws can lead to true freedom? Do I allow the Holy Spirit to lead me to a greater understanding of how to live by the laws of God?
