Let us all hold this valuable teaching in our heart and soul, God tells us in Scripture that obedience is greater than sacrifice. So too, does the Catechism of the Catholic Church teach us how to live this truth.
1 Samuel 15:22 Samuel said, “Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.
CCC 2087 – Our moral life has its source in faith in God who reveals his love to us. St. Paul speaks of the “obedience of faith” 9 as our first obligation. He shows that “ignorance of God” is the principle and explanation of all moral deviations. 10 Our duty toward God is to believe in him and to bear witness to him. 2100 – 18 Jesus recalls the words of the prophet Hosea: “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.” 19 The only perfect sacrifice is the one that Christ offered on the cross as a total offering to the Father’s love and for our salvation. 20 By uniting ourselves with his sacrifice we can make our lives a sacrifice to God.
