A day will come, says the Lord through Jeremiah, “when I will write my law upon their hearts. No longer will they have need to teach their friends and relatives how to know the LORD. All, from least to greatest, shall know me, says the LORD.” That day has come. When we are united to God, then we can look within ourselves, determine what our conscience is telling us, and know how to serve our God. We don’t need particular laws any more. We have the Lord. When we are united to God, we know what is right and what is wrong. We call that knowledge a certain conscience. There may not be a written law that says we have to look in on that difficult elderly neighbor, but the law of our heart tells us that God expects us to do just that. There may not be a written law that tells us that we should try to make peace with that estranged family member who has just returned home, that prodigal son or daughter who walked out on our Mom and Dad, brought them so much grief, and who now wants to be reunited with the family. There may not be a written law telling us how we should behave, but our hearts say that God wants us to welcome him or her home. We Americans are so legalistic that we can easily let the law reduce us to limiting the choices we make to that which is required by the written law. We are better than that. The law that we need to follow is the law of God that is written within our hearts. We need to stay united to God and listen to our consciences. All of us are concerned with teaching our faith to our children. Religious formation is not enough. It is important, yes, but it barely touches the surface of what it means to follow the Lord. Yes, it is important that our children learn their lessons. But it is infinitely more important that we provide our children with experience after experience of our living our love for God. It is not just their minds or our minds that God wants. What God wants is their hearts. What God wants is our hearts.
