Today is the solemnity of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. In reading 1 from Deuteronomy 7, Moses says to the people that God repays with destruction a person who hates him; he does not dally with such a one, but makes them personally pay for it. Strong words, but hating God is disbelieving in his great mercy. The response to Psalm 103 is its verse 17: The Lord's kindnesses is everlasting to those who fear him. So the condition to avoid God's condemnation is to fear him. In other words, humble yourself before the Lord and he'll be most kind to you.
