TODAY’S WORD…

QUOTE…

“There is a deeper war that all of us must fight!

It is the tough and courageous decision to reject evil and its seductions

and to choose the good,

ready to pay personally.

.

This profound war of fighting evil is following Christ!

This is carrying our cross!”

.

– Pope Francis

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

Faced with a moral choice,

conscience can make either a right judgment

in accordance with reason and the divine law

or, on the contrary, an erroneous judgment that departs from them.

…..

[CCC 1786]

.

.

Man is sometimes confronted by situations

that make moral judgments less assured and decision difficult.

But he must always seriously seek what is right and good

and discern the will of God expressed in divine law.

…..

[CCC 1787]

.

.

To this purpose, man strives to interpret the data of experience and the signs of the times

assisted by the virtue of prudence,

by the advice of competent people,

and by the help of the Holy Spirit and His gifts.

…..

[CCC 1788]
