"If, however, a fine is imposed on him, he must pay in ransom for his life whatever amount is imposed on him." Exodus 21:30
There is a cost to our wayward ways. God clearly tells us that in not following His instructions that there is a penalty. It takes a toll on us, what seems like nothing happens over time there is a ransom. Jesus dies for our sins and He paid it all. The culture, society, the devil, would have us believe that there is no cost, there is no penalty but there clearly is. When we come to the understanding that we are inflicting pain upon He that was on the cross, we will feel the pain that we cause to Him. Loving God is a journey.
What is God saying to me: Love does not inflict pain but Love feels pain.
Dear Father, I hear the words "Go and sin no more", yet I will live these words today.
The Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because they offend You, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen.
Thank You Father for the prayers You have given us to pray in our daily lives. This is a tradition that has been lost that needs to be found again. It helps in knowing why we are here, it is not for a good time but to get to Heaven. Loving You is the best time, I thank You for that in my heart. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
