Homily for Tuesday, March 9, 2021

What is the bare minimum? How little do I need to do to follow Jesus? Where is the line between being a disciple and not being a disciple, so I can step just past that line? Why is it we can be tempted to see how little we can get away with? While it is difficult to forgive sometimes, Jesus not only tells us that God’s forgiveness of us is not only possible, but when we forgive we are more open to receiving that forgiveness and are free from the burden not forgiving creates for us.
