Sunday within the Christmas Octave 2023
No longer are we slaves of the law, no longer are we separated from God. God has made us His friends. He loves every creature He has created but He is forced, so to speak, to hate the sinner by the sinner’s own choice. God’s irrational creatures fulfill His will by necessity, but we have been given a free will and the ability to choose. Our friendship with God may be maintained by simply following His commandments as His other creatures do. We must ask ourselves if throughout the previous year we have risen to the role of true Christians or if we are Christians only in name.
