G ’ L God’s laws are not intended to burden or torment us. Instead they are guideposts that point us in the direc on of good living. Accordingly, good living requires loving God and loving one another. We should not follow God’s laws out of fear of what might happen if we don’t, but rather view them as a founda on for building rela onships and trust with one another and with God. The Shema prayer of Orthodox Jews is based on the reading from Deuteronomy today, “Hear, O Israel.” Every morning people recite the prayer as a profession of their love for God and pledge their obedience to God throughout the day. They pass on their love of God to their children, from one genera on to the next.

Uno de los santos más populares de la época medieval fue el soldado húngaro conocido como Mar n Caballero o Mar n de Tours (c. 315�397). Esta popularidad se debió a su biogra a escrita por un discípulo, Sulpicio Severo. Su vida fue el mejor ejemplo de san dad a través de varios siglos. Con ene esta biogra a muchos de los acontecimientos, en-señanzas y milagros de la vida del santo que fue soldado en el ejército romano antes de su conversión. Muchos ignoran que fue monje, misionero y obispo por muchos años. Su imagen decora muchos almanaques la noamericanos y él con núa siendo un santo popular. La representación más común de san Mar n es la de un soldado romano sobre un caballo que rasga su manto rojo a la mitad con una espada para darle una parte a un pobre sentado a los pies del caballo. Según su biogra a, Mar n hizo esto durante el proceso de su conversión y resulta que el pobre limosnero se le aparece en un sueño revelándose como Cristo mismo, ya que lo que un cris ano hace por los pobres y marginados lo hace por Jesús.

Las leyes de Dios no intentan atormentarnos o ser una carga. Al contrario, son señales que nos guían por el sendero de la buena vida. Por lo tanto, la buena vida requiere que amemos a Dios y nos amemos unos a otros. No debemos se-guir las leyes divinas por miedo a lo que pudiera ocurrir si no las seguimos, más bien verlas como un fundamento sobre el cual construir nuestras relaciones y entablar confianza con los demás y con Dios. La oración Shema de los judíos ortodoxos se basa en la lectura de hoy del Deuteronomio: “Escucha, pues, Israel”. Ca-da mañana la persona recita la oración como una profesión de amor a Dios y un compromiso de obediencia a Dios a lo largo del día. Así transmiten el amor a Dios a sus hijos, de ge-neración en generación.
