DAILY HOMILIES #hear and keep God's words

St. Paul points out in today’s First Reading that we are justified by faith, not by the Law, having been freed from the Law’s curse. However, our faith demands that we hear and keep God’s words. We keep God’s words because we love Him, not because we hope to justify ourselves. We keep God’s word because we are His children, not because we seek payment like workers (who hate their master but obey him to earn their salary).
