How easy it is to go with the crowd, with what is popular. To think that some laws are meant to be broken, or some rules don’t apply or are old fashioned. To do as we please when we please. If we have these thoughts how can we keep our Heavenly Father’s commandments? Given to us in love, so that we may live in His love and love one another without discrimination or reservation.
Many perhaps out of desperation seek foreign gods to help with a situation or sick loved one. Convincing themselves that it is okay or that it may still be only one god just many different ways of worship and so is just another way to reach God and seek His mercy and saving Grace.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, there is only one God. Who loves us so much He sent us His only begotten Son to love and save us. The Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son; speaks to us as He has spoken through the prophets. He shows us the way to holiness and life with and in Him. He is the Lord the giver of life.
Let us remain in His love by turning away from Sin and being faithful to the Gospels. Amen
St Barnabas pray for us.

Gospel
Mt 5:17-19
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”
