We Must Obey To Be Saved
20th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
The official in the Gospel for this Mass traveled a long distance to find Christ, but was rebuked for his lack of faith. Yet, Christ rewarded the little faith he had, curing his child, and converting his whole household into some of the very first Christians. St. Paul tells us that God’s Will is that we pray continuously and redeem the time we have wasted. We must not be foolish with this precious gift of time. What would the people in hell give for a little more time? If we do not practice obedience and give up our will, we can be sure we lack the other virtues. We must act for God and our neighbor, not for our own desires.
