Today is the Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church. In the Gospel reading from Luke 17, Jesus said to his disciples, "Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your guard!" This is a serious warning! To sin is one thing, but to become an agent of sin, knowingly or not, is a lot worse. It's good to be aware whether your action will lead others to sin or not. Best yet, don't sin at all.
