"How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear good to everybody, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and sins."
Matthew 23:27-28 GNBDK
Reflection:
It is often misunderstood that those that are religious are exempt from sin. But that is far from the truth, and Jesus makes it very clear that no matter how we show ourselves on the outside, it is what's on the inside that matters. We all are tempted at varying degrees, it is how we respond to it, that makes a difference. And while temptation in itself is not sin, giving into temptation surely is.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to always respond to temptations just as Jesus did relying on the word of God. May you mediate upon his word day and night as you are lead by his Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
