Presentation
This major topic will be addressed essentially through a renewed approach to the Scriptures via the riches of Spiritual Theology. The Ten Commandements were first given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. Jesus, the new Moses, God himself, reveals his new Law to us on the Mount of the Beatitudes. He later will synthesise Moses’ Law in a new and intriguing way that will mark Christian tradition: to love God and to love our neighbour. Jesus will then fuse the Two Commandments into one, his New
Commandment. During these six lessons, we will follow the different nuances presented by the four Evangelists and by St. Paul. A fascinating and exhilarating journey of discovery will allow us to deepen our understanding of Christianity and what God is asking us to do.
