Joy and gift in observance of commandments

Duty

God raised Aaron up to holiness for the priesthood, so that he would offer holocausts and choice offerings to atone for the people; such cult and worship are entrusted to teach God’s precepts and laws.

Observing His commands is a delight that, when proclaimed, becomes a celebration everywhere the beauty and grandeur of this Gospel is handed on.

Contemplating the God of life, who creates every individual as a wonder, the deeper meaning of life is grasped as an utter gratuitousness, beauty and invitation to freedom and responsibility.
