(Video) What dance class will teach you about the 10 Commandments

Fr. Peter John Cameron, OP - published on 05/11/23

Jesus says, "If you love me you will keep my commandments" -- why?

We hear Jesus say to us: If you love me you will keep my commandments. But isn’t keeping the Commandments restrictive and constraining?

What can help us understand this?

The answer: middle school students learning ballroom dancing. 

When we keep the Commandments we flourish. We are set free.
