NEVER POSTPONE YOUR CONVERSION

Tuesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time: Year C Matthew 11:20-24 "Woe to you" means grief, sorrow, misery, terrible calamity will come upon you if you do not repent. The sin of Chorazin, of Bethsaida, and of Capernaum was the sin of doing nothing. I called this indifference-an absence of good deeds! We know and we are very much aware that its bad but we no longer care. We know it is a sin but we don’t care. Indifference! Nowadays, we lost the sense of sin. We don’t care what God and anyone else think. Jesus was so furious and upset with Charazin and Bethsaida because they were not interested in repentance. No signs of changing their evil lifestyle to Godly habits. These towns were not afraid of God. Friends, repentance is not only turning from sin but running to God for forgiveness. You know what, God is not please if we continue to ignore the call to repentance. Friends, repentance pleases God. Today we are reminded that not to repent is a shameful act. It makes God bent out of shape. Conversion is urgent! All of us are obligated to repent of our sins because sin is a transgression of God's law. This is not the final judgement yet. There is still a delay. Friends, there is still time to repent. The sun may rise tomorrow but you nay not. Repent today. Let us not delay our repentance. The most beautiful blessing we have been given is the chance to repent. Warning: If we dont repent, the greatest of all curses, all badlucks and miserable events will fall upon us. True repentance is seen not heard. Offer prayers for the city where you live. Ask God to bring a city wide repentance starting from your local and national leaders. Blessings Fr. Jhack
