Gospel Reading
Matthew 5:17–37
I have not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them.
When Jesus began teaching, some people thought that he had come to abolish the Law of Moses that the Jewish people had been following for centuries. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus explains what he has come to do. Jesus teaches us that we fulfill the Law by going beyond the minimum requirements and by responding with love in all that we do.
