What the Fathers say

Psalms 119:32

Western Saints

Bonaventure

Together with fear one must also love God. When the heart is enlarged through love, then man easily keeps the commandments of God. I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart. He says that the way of God's commandments is broad, yet to some it seems to be narrow. Certainly to those who love, it is broad; but to those who do not love, it seems to be narrow.
