DAILY HOMILIES #St. Bernard of Clairvaux

What kind of guests would hear “Come and eat” and still refuse to show up? This is very strange! But then, this is our situation today. We reject His generous invitation by not living according to God’s mind. When we allow sin to fester in our lives for whatever excuse, we are just like the guests who gave various reasons for their refusal to attend. We prove to God that these excuses are more important than our love for Him.
