Delving into God's Commandments, this talk on the primacy of the Law of Love is the forty third in a series of lectures on the Catholic Catechism recorded in 1965 by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen in the privacy of his own study and first broadcast under the title 'Life is Worth Living'. A master communicator, Fulton Sheen recorded this insightful overview of the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church.
Christians seek not merely the keeping of the Commandments but to be related to our Lord. Christianity is hard from a worldly point of view, but it gives inner peace and joy to those who obey the Lord’s law of love. Love is a movement of one’s whole self; it can never be commanded. The Christian doctrine of morality is a total commitment to Christ. The love of neighbor is being a sin-bearer. We can know Christ only as we bear the sins of others. The Church is the means of salvation for the world, not just our own sanctification.
