Second-Sunday-of-Ordinary-Time-B-January-14-2024“Let me say that we have already received from God the ability to fulfill all His commands. We have then no reason to resent them, as if something beyond our capacity were being asked of us. We have no reason either to be angry, as if we were being asked to pay back more than we received. When we use this ability in a right and fitting way, we lead a life of virtue and holiness. But if we misuse it, we fall into sin.
This is the definition of sin: the misuse of powers given to us by God for doing good, a use contrary to God’s commandments. On the other hand, the virtue that God asks of us is the use of the same powers based on a good conscience in accord with God’s command.”
