A Faith
A charity. It starts with hope. It starts with wanting something and the belief that it is obtainable. It ends with charity, the fruit of a good person. Jesus gave us hope with a promise of eternal life. He also made it possible. You might be saved. It is now up to you.
A Break
and welcome all sinners to the Church by stressing mercy, forgiveness, and charity. The teachings of the Church often make us uncomfortable and should not be emphasized. Don’t worry, the teachings of the Church will not be changed. We just need to ignore them for the time being to make others feel comfortable. Everyone needs approval. Acceptance. This is what Jesus would do. So what should I do about climate change? You are making me uncomfortable.
A Good Thing
along with forgiveness and charity. Without it we become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Mercy is not ours to give. We must forgive but we must not forget the sin or try to normalize it. The teachings of the Church must be protected by those we can trust. The laity must hold the bishops accountable. We were warned.
A Destination
that is not predetermined. It starts with hope or what you want. Then comes faith or a belief that you can get what you want. This will be tested, a word you won’t find in some bibles. Charity is a big part of the test. Without it you are but a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Many shall be refined, purified, and tested.
