TODAY’S WORD…

.

You must live your whole life

according to the Christ you have received – Jesus the Lord;

you must be rooted in Him and built on Him

and held firm by the faith you have been taught,

and full of thanksgiving.

.

Make sure that no one traps you and deprives you of your freedom

by some second-hand, empty, rational philosophy

based on the principles of this world instead of on Christ.

.

In His body lives the fullness of divinity,

and in Him you too find your own fulfilment,

in the One who is the Head of every Sovereignty and Power.

.

– Colossians 2:6-9 (JB)

PRAYER…

.

Jesus, my Lord,

You are my life,

You are my Saviour,

my Redeemer,

my All.

.

Grant, O Lord,

that nothing and no one

will ever lure me away from Your Truth;

that I will never allow myself to be trapped

so as to satisfy my selfish desires and cravings.

.

Jesus, take over – completely.

Jesus, be my Guide – always.

.

Jesus, I want to be with You

– make me more like You.

.

Jesus, I so want to be one with You!

.

Amen.

.

YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Ignorance of Christ and His Gospel,

bad example given by others,

enslavement to one’s passions,

assertion of a mistaken notion of autonomy of conscience,

rejection of the Church’s authority and her teaching, lack of conversion and of charity:

these can be at the source of errors of judgment in moral conduct.

[CCC 1792]

A good and pure conscience is enlightened by true faith,

for charity proceeds at the same time from a pure heart

and a good conscience and sincere faith.

The more a correct conscience prevails,

the more do persons and groups turn aside from blind choice

and try to be guided by objective standards of moral conduct.

[CCC 1794]
