Mt 5:17-19

Jesus wants his disciples and the people to understand that his intent is in no way to destroy or even change the law. He wants to teach that which has become skewed and misunderstood. At the heart of the law is the commandment to love and he will make sure that every word is understood as map and compass to right relationship with God and neighbor.

Your law, O God, is meant to protect all that is good, right and just and to guide us in becoming what you created us to be.
