Homily #120513 ( 35min) Play – Fr. Bonaventure on the Gospel message “This I command you, Love one another as I love you.” He reflects that following God’s commandments is the way to love Him and so abide in His love and so be able to love ones neighbor. There is no opposition between love and the law for love fulfills the law and obeying the law fulfills love. This is what Jesus did on the Cross for all of us.
