Lesson DISCUSSION
“Law is an ordinance of reason for the common good,
promulgated by the one in charge of the community.” Law is primarily
a reasonable plan of action, “a certain rule and measure of acts
whereby man is induced to act or is restrained from acting.”
The law prescribes for man the ways, the rules of
conduct that lead to the promised beatitude; it proscribes the ways of
evil which turn him away from God and his love. It is at once firm in its
precepts and, in its promises, worthy of love.
The moral law is the work
of divine Wisdom. Its biblical
meaning can be defined as
fatherly instruction, God's
pedagogy.
The moral law presupposes the rational
order established among creatures for their good
and to serve their end by the Creator’s power,
wisdom, and goodness. All law finds its first and
ultimate truth in the eternal law. Law is declared
and established by reason as a participation in
the providence of the living God, Creator, and
Redeemer of all. "Such an ordinance of the
reason is what one calls law."

The moral law finds its fullness and its unity in Christ. Jesus Christ is
in person the way of perfection. He is the end of the law, for only
he teaches and bestows the justice of God: "For Christ is the end
of the law, that everyone who has faith may be justified."
right
natural Moral Law
The natural law expresses the original moral
sense which enables man to discern by reason wrong
the good and the evil, the truth, and the lie:
But this command of human reason would not have
the force of law if it were not the voice and interpreter of
a higher reason to which our spirit and freedom must be
submitted.
Divine law
Divine Law is the historical laws of Scripture through
God’s self-revelation. Divine law is divided into the Old
Law and the New Law, which correspond to the Old
and New Testaments of the Bible.
Old law
The old Law (old testament law) was the Law
of God handed down to Moses (the ten
commandments). The old law serves as the
basis for crafting a law.
The new law (new testament) is the law of Jesus Christ. This
law was also rooted in the ten commandments.
Jesus himself summarized this law with the reflection of the
Holy Spirit. Therefore, this law is called the law of Love,
grace, and freedom.

Hierarchy of Law
For St. Thomas Aquinas, human laws are derived from
natural law and participation in the eternal
law.[Therefore, the eternal law is at the top, followed
by natural and human law. Divine law is the revealed
law of God to man, while natural law is the imprint of
eternal law on the hearts of men.
D. Clarifying
Misconcepti
ons
The natural law is immutable and
permanent throughout history variations; it
subsists under the flux of ideas and
customs and supports their progress. The
rules that express it remain substantially
valid. Even when it is rejected in its very
principles, it cannot be destroyed or
removed from the heart of man. It always
rises again in the life of individuals and
societies.
