***Rid Yourself of All Deadly Sins**

        In today's first reading from Acts 13, almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said. What I want to talk about is jealousy, a most common sin. The other one that comes readily to my mind is greed, which you can see all around in the world. Both jealousy and greed can be cured by humility. One immediate goal of imitating Christ is to become humble like him. When we are humble, there'll a place reserved in heaven for each of us. Anyway, submit yourself to Christ to let him take away jealousy, greed, and all other deadly sins to make you heaven bound. Alleluia!
