Our Lord Jesus said, "I come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.>>(John 10:10). Faith & baptism give us new life in Christ.That life involves far more than simply following a set of rules. It is about living as free human beings not tied down by any bandages and making LOVE our fundamental option.
Morality is a call to recognize our dignity as men and women who have received a free gift of new life in Christ. We must live accordingly. Our Lord Jesus himself clearly taught us the first principles of Catholic morality: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. In these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.>>
(Mt 22: 37-40)
