“There are many opportunities each day to do penance and sacrifice by offering our daily struggles and tribulations.”
Mathew 14:1-12
John, the lone voice in the wilderness was beheaded for speaking out against the sins of the flesh- adultery, fornication etc.…perhaps the beheading of our beloved Our Lady of Fatima by a lightning strike in Trinidad may be a modern-day warning as in the days of John.
Our Lady warned the children at Fatima, that many souls go to hell because of the sins of the flesh. Is Heaven appealing to us to unite in prayer, fasting and sacrifice? Yes. Are we heeding the call?
There are many opportunities each day to do penance and sacrifice by offering our daily struggles and tribulations. St. Therese’s Little Way can be adopted by each of us to stem the tide of the world’s pressure to embrace evil as good.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us not be fooled by the mirages of sin. Let us unite our sufferings and snatch many souls, including ours from the brink of eternal damnation.
