About this episode

Fr. Daniel Klimek discusses how obeying God's commandments leads to true joy and freedom through faith in Christ.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050726.cfm Father Daniel Klimek, PhD, explains that the Council of Jerusalem established that faith in Christ, not painstaking adherence to the Mosaic Law, is the path to salvation, while clarifying that moral works remain essential as a fruit of that living faith. Father Daniel contrasts the secular view of God's commandments as unnecessarily restrictive chains with the biblical reality that obeying Christ is an act of love that brings complete joy and human flourishing. By remaining in this relationship of love, believers discover that true freedom is found, not by ignoring the law, but in honoring and obeying the Father who desires their happiness. ⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod ✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod ⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy! https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=pod Follow Us on Social Media! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheDivineMercy/ 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DivineMercyOfficial 【ꚠ】TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marianfathers ★…
