Homily for Thursday, August 19, 2021
It can be the case that people believe that all people, regardless of how they lived their lives will automatically be saved. That at the end of the day, it will not matter so much how we lived our lives, but that God loves us. But the invitation to follow Jesus is different from actually following Jesus. Yet as Thomas Merton has told us, his belief is that the desire for this relationship and the desire to live it out authentically is a pleasing thing to God.
