I think (as I know what happened to me) many of us for what ever the reason, conform ourselves to the world (society) to darkness, to sin (due to cultural and societal influences or our own wants). Once this occurs then it’s not an easy road back to conforming to Christ. If conforming to Christ is done at an early age or “coming out of the gate” it’s a much easier road then the one I took. Oh, how I wish I did things different. Thanks be to God I’m on the road back. Love to all. Amen.

It must have also been a problem in Paul’s time. It is so wonderful to hear the truth, when there is so much confusion and hopelessness, addictions and distractions. It is always so beautiful when someone comes back to Jesus, to the faith. It is worth all the celebration by the angels in heaven. God bless all.

It touches my heart more so in todays world where institutions like marriage is viewed from a different perspective mostly on the “what is it for me if I marry you ” eg nuptial agreement with what i call consequences if something does not go ones way……very unfortunate we allow ourselves to be seduced Amen and thanks for sharing ….

Thank you for the wonderful reflection. I especially loved the example of the preschool children which beautifully explains the first reading from St. Paul to the Colossians. The reading itself is amazing. St. Paul lays to us the guiding principle of any Christian who believes in Christ. How lucky we are to have such scripture and more so to have people like Bob to explain to us such Scripture!

God Bless you Bob

So many of us have lost direction of God purpose for bringing us into the world. But the holy spirit just direct you to make us understand our purpose, so that we can go back to our root(holding firm to our faith).God bless you. AMEN
