Friday 3 March

First Friday of the Month – Devotion to the Sacred Heart
Friday of the 1st week of Lent
First reading – Ezekiel 18:21-28
Prophet Ezekiel is clearly underlining our personal responsibility in our sins. Not only regarding our sins but also about our conversion. It’s ultimately our choice that makes the difference. We can blame others and situation for ours sins but finally it is our choice. We forget this. We normally say that others made me angry, others made me do that, others provoked me, others suggested it. Yes, these are circumstances, but in the midst of these circumstances you make the choice how to react. So, at the end I am responsible for my action. Again, it is our choice to continue sinning or to give up sinning and repent for the sins. The Lord awaits our return. As soon as we renounce our sins, He welcomes us forgetting all our sins. Let’s reflect: Lent is the time to grow in our personal responsibility about the integrity of our actions.
