"Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

***Remaining Free in the World*

        After I got home from morning Mass, I took a walk outside the house. It was a beautiful spring morning. The skies, clear and blue. The temperature, cool and most comfortable. The foliage displayed the freshest shades of green. The birds sang happily around you. And I wondered why many of us still get so messed up. It's clear that we mess up because we don't follow God anymore, we let the things of the world get to us, and we start sinning more and become self-centered. Now we are heading toward being lost forever. What we need to do is to start out with a foundation built firmly on the Lord God. Seeking to attain union with him thru the Holy Eucharist is my foremost recommendation. Once you become strong in the Lord, you wouldn't want to sin anymore. You can still enjoy the good things of the world, but they no longer can enslave you.
