God has blessed us with a genuine goodness. We, however, are completely free to turn away from that gift. We all sin. We all abuse our freedom in pursuit of what we think is “good for us.” God, meanwhile, is relentless: He is constantly inviting us to return to Him and allow Him to re-establish the harmony and peace which has marked our relationship with Him and will again!
We are “justified” (or “made right” with God) through the life, death, and Resurrection of Christ the Lord. He is forever placing before us the chance to totally give ourselves to God, so that we might share in God’s life now and for all eternity.
God may seem at times to be calling us to the impossible. But our faith helps us to see that He works in everything and through everything. Going all the way back to Abraham, through the examples in the lives of Saints, let us follow in their footsteps today and always.
