At the beginning of Great Lent, the Church places before us the Sermon on the Mount—the “greatest hits” of Holy Scripture. In Matthew 7, Christ summarizes the entire Old Testament with one powerful principle: “In everything, do to others as you would have them do to you.” This homily explores how the Lord’s Prayer lifts our minds to heaven and teaches us to live on earth with a heavenly attitude. The Golden Rule is not sentimental advice—it is the narrow road that leads to life.
