You Belong to Christ
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off!"
Many of us know well this teaching from Christ in our Gospel this weekend. How many of us though take him seriously?
It's easy to note the problematic areas of our life and our habitual sin, but it takes work, both from submitting to God and our own efforts), to identify and ROOT out our sources of sin. The trappings of this earth will pass away; do we take seriously the health of our souls?
Watch this short video below from Fr. Stephen Gadberry from our new series Catholicism 101, to hear more on how God calls us to be fully alive in our relationship with Christ:
Questions for Additional Reflection:
- How does our culture define “happiness”? How does the cultural definition contrast with Jesus’ definition?
- Where do you struggle to root out sin? Who can you talk with about this?
