But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law (Galatians 5:18)
The texts in the Roman Catholic lectionary today challenge us to be in touch with the indwelling Spirit which informs our conscience and our behaviour. The intimate relationship to which we are invited with the Divine offers the “Law” that is written in our being. When we follow the promptings of the Spirit, we are moving towards holy and wholly existence. The legalism of our time, and as Luke shows, of Jesus time, so often offers the surface of propriety but can be a shield to avoid compassion, forgiveness, peace, solidarity and love because it is not required “by the Law”.
