What is Moral Law?

July 8, 2025 Emily Arthur

Living the Gospel this Week. What is Moral Law?

“If only you would heed the voice of the Lord, your God, and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the Law”

The words of Moses from the first reading from Deuteronomy 30:10, inspired me to speak about what is commonly known as Moral Law, that is, a set of religious law like canon law, or natural law or divine Law, which not necessarily set down by legislation. Moral law comes from God as a gift to guide us in choosing what good and avoiding harm. This law is already written in our hearts. It is not just a set of rules. By following moral law, we grow closer to God and live in ways that respect others. Moral Laws help build a just and loving community.

The core question that could help each of us act morally is "How will my actions affect others, and are those effects aligned with the Common Good and God’s will?”
