Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
Many times people come to church every Sunday, yet live a lifestyle completely different than the one they proclaim as a Catholic. Granted, we all have weaknesses and no one is perfect, but this is not an excuse to sin. God knows our hearts, intentions, thoughts and motives. We all need each other and help in the body of Christ and in the church. God loves when we seek to honour Him wholeheartedly not only with lips, the sign of the cross, or rosary in our car. It is a great temptation of our times to turn our faith into something we profess but never live out. Our hearts must be close to the One who loved us to the fullest.
Let us ask ourselves: Do I personally honour God within and outside of church, or do I change into another person once I leave the temple of God after Divine Liturgy? Do I live out what I believe?
