DAILY HOMILIES #law and the prophets

In today’s first reading, Moses said: “Give heed to the statutes and the ordinances… that you may live and take possession of the land.” God means well to us by giving us the commandments. There is a reward for every act of obedience. Unfortunately, today’s Christians are more concerned about their discomfort than their disobedience

The easiest way to avoid condemning others is to examine our conscience thoroughly: “If I were in that person’s shoes, would I have done better?” Daniel’s prayer in today’s first reading caught the attention of God because it contained an honest acknowledgement of sins.
