LIFE IN CHRIST—PART TWO

“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets” (Mt 7:12). This “Golden Rule” taught by Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount is a golden thread that weaves its way through the moral life of the Christian. It is a behavior that flows from life in Christ and in the Holy Spirit. Our journey in the moral life begins by looking at the person of Jesus, listening to his voice, and responding to the strong yet gentle movement of the Holy Spirit.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church presents to us the elements, foundations, and principles that serve as a sturdy point of departure for reflecting on Christian morality. This guidance from Christ brought to us through the Church is designed to help us answer his invitation to be holy, to be moral, to be fulfilled exactly in the way that God intended. The previous chapter focused on the individual human being as called to act morally. This chapter discusses morality as it pertains to the individual as situated within a community.
