III. The New Law or the Law of the Gospel
1967
The Law of the Gospel “fulfills,” refines, surpasses, and leads the
Old Law to its perfection.21 In the Beatitudes, the New Law fulfills
the divine promises by elevating and orienting them toward the “kingdom of
heaven.” It is addressed to those open to accepting this new hope with
faith – the poor, the humble, the afflicted, the pure of heart, those
persecuted on account of Christ and so marks out the surprising ways of the
Kingdom.
