If we really want to live in the real sense of the word then we should think very carefully what these words in today's 1st reading are telling us. It is in discovering the truth in these words from today's 1st reading that we will surely live. Amen. Hallelujah!
Ezekiel 18:1-10, 13b, 30-32
...all lives are mine...only the one who sins shall die. 5 If a man is virtuous– if he does what is right and just,...that man is virtuous he shall surely live, says the Lord GOD.
There is no other way to maintain the Holy Spirit dwelling in us but to let it reside in a clean heart. We drive away God's Spirit in us if we don't strive to let our hearts remain clean. Amen. Hallelujah!
Psalm 51:12-13, 14-15, 18-19
R: Create a clean heart in me, O God.
...and a steadfast spirit renew within me. 11 [13] Cast me not out from your presence, and your Holy Spirit take not from me. (R) 12 [14] Give me back the joy of your salvation, and a willing spirit sustain in me.
We ought to be like the little children who possess a clean and totally surrendered heart to the Lord in order to belong to the kingdom of heaven. Amen. Hallelujah!
Matthew 19:13-15
13 Children were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 After he placed his hands on them, he went away.
