A Simple Message

So simple, and yet for some reason so hard to get sometimes. Today's Gospel (John 15:9-11):

Jesus said to his disciples:
"As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father's commandments
and remain in his love.
"I have told you this so that
my joy might be in you and
your joy might be complete."

Why do we have to make it so complicated?

I've often wondered the same thing - why do people make it so complicated!? The thing is, Catholicism is probably the most complicated Christian church... maybe due to its maturity and in response to various challenges through the ages. But still - complicated.
