What the Fathers say

Deuteronomy 10:12

Western Saints

Bonaventure

The authority of the one commanding ought to move us to observe the commandments of God. He is of great authority, because by His munificent benevolence He saves us. "And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you, except that you fear the Lord your God and walk in His ways and love Him and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul, and keep the commandments of the Lord?" Lord, who created you; God, who governs you; your own, who saves you.
