WORDS ARE THE GOODNESS OR BADNESS OF THE HEART CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 8TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE C, 2022

ByOnuh

There is no doubt that our words proceed from the goodness or badness of our hearts. The Christian life and faith is not an external display of superficial piety or religiosity. It is a steady, constant and deep spiritual growth and development that bear fruits of goodness. Especially, by the ways, we live and interact with others. Therefore, the uprightness of the heart is from the introspection of spiritual growth from within the Christian Soul.

CHRISTIAN LOVE VERSUS HUMAN FEELINGS: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 7TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE C, 2022

Our Christian love is to love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who abuse you. It is an unconditional love rooted in goodness without the shadow of emotions or feelings of hatred, resentment or vengeance. While our human feelings or love is only to like those who like us, love those who love and act with kindness towards those who do the same with us. It is a conditional love or feelings based on mutuality and interests.

SINFULNESS AND UNWORTHINESS OF THOSE CALLED BY GOD: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 5TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE C, 2022

ByOnuh

It is beautiful to see the characteristics of sinfulness and unworthiness in the life and person of all those called by God. A true vocation comes with a deep sense of unworthiness to respond to the calling of God. The joyful truth is that God does not choose the perfect but perfect those he has chosen for his service.
