The Lord Himself told us to cut off the hand that causes us to sin.
In today's Holy Gospel we were instructed to honor they father & mother.
But the sons & daughters of those who themselves have rejected God's law
and has chosen their own self-righteous ways...
If they copy cat their mothers & fathers sins...they too will suffer even
greater pain than their mothers and fathers did.
There comes a time when a young man and woman..brother & sister must choose
whether they will follow their parents poor life style choices and
Choose the better way as Simon Peter & his fishermen business partners in
this past weekend's gospel readings after being overwhelmed by the sizable
catch after working and toiling all night catching nothing....
Dropped the nets just one more time Because Jesus said to....
Let us respond just as readily & quickly to the call of Jesus to our
hearts...
Let us not allow the evil choices of even our mothers & fathers...those of
us unfortunate to have parents who lead lives that are not pure in any
way.... whether language is vulgar, or yell violently...or are sexually
active with many who are not their own husbands or wives...or if they dress
in tight clothing, or show off that which only their own spouse should see.
Sin is sin...and do not let yourself distinguish between sins that "aren't
so bad" and others. Sin is sin....and only the pure will spend eternity
with Almighty God.
So set limitations on those you love who refuse to follow Jesus...that you
may enjoy HIS best and eternity with HIM....we can lead our own mothers &
fathers with our choices!
Amen Amen Amen and Alleluia!
