The Gospel today speaks about the
sins against the Holy Spirit, and since I shared them with the people during my
5 homilies this weekend, here they are for you to ponder on, especially since
we sometimes take them for granted. Here they are with a brief description:
1. Despair – when you give up all
hope, leading sometimes to suicide. Remember that everything is forgivable, and
God is ever merciful.
2. Presumption – when you think that
you can save your life without observing the Commandments, and without
following the rules of the church.
3. Jealousy – when you crave for what
other people have, instead of being happy with the blessings God gave you.
4. Persistence in sin – when you keep
repeating the same sins without having any remorse or desire to repent, or
change your lifestyle.
5. Death without repentance – when
you’re nearing the end of your life and still refuse to be reconciled with the
church, refusing even confession and communion on your death bed.
6. Denying the truth – when you keep
refusing to accept the teachings of the church, as well as other duties and
obligations we have, like accepting the gift of life from the first moment of
conception.
