Why Obedience to God Feels Like Coming Home

Obedience to God is not a chain but the road home. In this Catholic reflection on the commandments you will hear Luke 8:21, Deuteronomy 11:1, Leviticus 19:18 and Proverbs 3:1-2 read gently aloud, with a quiet meditation on God's commandments as the walls of a household of love rather than a fence of fear, and a closing prayer with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be. It is for anyone who finds the commandments heavy, who longs for peace of heart, and who wants to learn again what love of God and neighbour truly asks of us.
