Among the elderly has been said - but I tell you
The Gospel begins with a thematic opening: Jesus came to bring the law to complete it to its fulfillment, both in his own actions as in us.
It is a first unfolding and deepening of what had already been announced in the Beatitudes and what we Christians have been given as our calling, "Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is."
It is not enough to observe the law only on the outside, and we must grasp it with your heart and see the most secret impulses of the heart. This applies to the design of relations with neighbors as well as for married life.
One can murder the brother of the hatred that feeds it to him in his heart, just as one can be adulterous by his lust.
The real peacemakers are those who reconcile, When making your gift at the altar, that is, when they celebrate the Eucharist. The sacrificial gift to the altar only to those who brings the peace that has been awarded. The peace does anger, hatred and hostile feelings, and treat the people as Christ did.
And the truly pure of heart, which are those that have completely separated from the doing of evil, which are in their speeches so truthful and reliable that they have no need to reaffirm their speech with a vow.
Jesus allowed divorce, and he calls for more to live in the truth. This is more important than loyalty to any oaths. In this way raises the gospel is the Law of Moses not to, but it leads to its completion and fulfillment. In such a depth must reach the plummet of our hearts, and those challenges, we have to answer.
