Distrust of Self
Sexagesima Sunday 2015
Many of the Epistles of St. Paul were dictated by him and written by his fellow disciples. He was being attacked by false Christians, so in this Epistle he attempts to bring back the faithful who were led astray. St. Paul’s great lesson is to distrust ourselves. This season is the realization of original sin, but this week we learn about actual sins. We know that we suffer in this life because of sin. In the Gospel for this Mass Our Lord demonstrates that there is meaning behind all the words of Scripture. We must respond completely in giving ourselves to God.
