"If your right-hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away! It is much better for you to lose one of your limbs than for your whole body to go to hell."
Matthew 5:30 GNBDK
Reflection:
This teaching is not meant in its literal sense, but needs to be understood in the context of it being said. We often stress on bigger sins rather than smaller ones. A plain cloth with a coloured dot cannot be called spotless and so it is with sin. While there is a commandment against adultery, Jesus warns that it begins in our hearts and minds. Therefore, we ought to be aware of our being.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to acknowledge even the smallest sin you may have committed, as you give it all to Jesus may he make you a new person in Himself. And may his Holy Spirit take deep root within you and help you bear good fruit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
