proximately 6,550 miles to Jerusa-lem from Avonwe might chooseto fly over the Atlantic Ocean there-

fore deducting 3,607 miles! Thebenefits of walking are numerous.

Regular walking can lengthen lifespan, lower stresslevels, relieve arthritis and back pain, strengthen mus-cles, bones and joints, and improve sleep. (aarp.org/health/fitness/walking) Miles will be tallied weeklyand posted in the bulletin. (20 minutes of aerobic ac-

tivity equivalent to 1 mile). So we will be putting ourtennis shoes on and walking the perimeter of St.Marys gymCome and join us!

you want. Come for 10, 20, 30, or more min-

There's the old joke about the fourth grader whohad just memorized the Ten Commandments. He wasvery proud of his accomplishment since he had studiedhard and had managed to recite them all without a single

mistake. When his mom came to pick up him and hisyounger brother from religion class the two were standingtogether on the curb. The younger brother was shakingand sobbing. When mom enquired what had happened,the younger brother pointed to the older and said that hehad been punched by him. The mom turned to the fourthgrade boy and asked, "Didn't you just learn the command-ments? You got them all correct, but now look what youdid to your brother. What does the fifth commandmentsay?" To which the fourth grader replied, "The fifth com-mandment is, 'You shall not kill.' And I didn't kill him. I justsocked him really good!"

Of course it is precisely this kind of literalism that

Jesus expects his followers to leave behind. In the Ser-mon on the Mount, he is teaching his disciples, those whowant to live by his words. Again and again in his dis-course, Jesus asks his followers to move to a higher ethicby saying, "You have heard it said? But I say to you?"Each time, Jesus proposes moving beyond the strict limitof the law to a fuller understanding of the concept. Andthat's where it can get difficult.

The fourth grader's behavior was clearly unac-ceptable, even according to the common understandingof what is required by the fifth commandment. But what isasked of the followers of Jesus is so much more. (Justwait till we get to next week's Gospel!) As Christians, we

are asked by Jesus to live beyond the law. We are askedto see the law not as a minimal requirement for what weshouldn't do, but as an invitation to extend the boundariesof what we should.

Love, the Bible says, is patient.

May you never lose your temper with the one youlove, but be patient as God was with his people.Love, the Bible says, is never boastful.

May you cherish your love as a masterpiece of God,

and not as a trophy to be displayed. Love, the Biblesays, is never selfish. May you always be generous to

your love, with time, with affection, with encourage-

ment and assistance. For as Christ loved the Church,so we should love our beloved. As Mary was de-

voted to her Son, so we should be devoted to those

we love. And as God loved and sacrificed for the

world so may we always be to those we love.Amen.
