THE NOW WORD ON MASS READINGS
for February 18th, 2014
Liturgical texts here
THE little big lie. It is the lie that a temptation is the same thing as the sin, and therefore, when one is tempted, he has already begun to sin. It is the lie that, if one does begin to sin, you might as well carry through with it to the end because it doesn’t matter. It is the lie that one is a sinful person because he is so frequently tempted with a certain sin…. Yes, it is always a seemingly little lie that is really a big lie in the end.
