Homily Summary: Human law is subject to change because it”s made by people. Natural law, on the other hand, exists in one”s very being since it is placed there by the Creator. When a lady has a baby, natural laws come into play. She knows she must take care of the baby. Man-made law should never topple natural law. If any man-made law allows it, it”s not law. In obeying natural law, you are obeying nature and there will be joy.

Divine law is above all that. Sanctifying grace is partaking in God”s own nature. His own blood runs through our veins.
