Friends of the Rosary,
We are designed to seek God, but the enticements of this world distract and confuse us. Our Lord Jesus invites us to remove any component that causes sin, as we read today (Mk 9:41-50).
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life maimedthan with two hands to go into Gehenna,into the unquenchable fire.And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off.It is better for you to enter into life crippledthan with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna.And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out.Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eyethan with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna,where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”
Also, He warned us about sins committed against children:
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,it would be better for him if a great millstonewere put around his neckand he was thrown into the sea.”
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Rita Cascia, Pray for Us!
To Jesus through Mary!
