  • Eighteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year B)
    Sun, Aug 1 Views 29639 Listen 2 Downloads 0

    Paul’s instruction is a reminder that Christ did not save us in order that we may live anyway that we choose. He saved us so that we may live holy lives, and thus to live in a way that is radically different from our lifestyle as unbelievers.

I believe it is more difficult to be Christ’s witness among people with whom we have a developed and committed relationship than among strangers and non-believers.

    As Saint Paul points out in his letter to the Romans, (12:3), “Each of us is given a measure of faith”. So the problem is not that we don’t have faith. It’s just a question of knowing how to use our faith and applying our faith to life’s challenges. Read more »
