Matthew 5:27-32??Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.??"It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for God's will to be done regarding U.S. immigration reform.
It's not enough to just resist temptation if lust is still in your heart. It's not enough for Christ.
In today's reading, Christ appeals to our broken hearts that have been damaged through sin and abuse. Christ wants to heal us there. Just as it is good to praise Him, it is good to invite Him in and redeem the places we need to be redeemed.
Today, be hospitable and invite Our Lord in and receive His healing. Take care and God Bless.
