Our heavenly Father can speak to us in many ways but He often chooses to speak to us in a soft gentle breeze frequently in the quiet. Can we not hear Him? Have we allowed the noise in our lives to drown Him out?
Let us not allow lustful thoughts and desires into our hearts, for it tears us away from our relationship with our Lord. When we give in to our passions and lusts, we will find that it is a fire which swiftly burns out constantly needing us to feed the flames otherwise it will burn out completely, Soon enough our eyes will be opened to the wake of its destruction. Broken lives and relationships.
How many have overlook the fact that on their wedding day there was a union of three. Man and woman in union with God? A promise of fidelity to spouse and to God.
Let the Holy fire of Christ burn brightly in our lives, purifying our hearts and minds. Let us be Holy beacons of His love leading as many as we can home to our heavenly Father. Amen

GOSPEL
Matthew 5:27–32
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.
“It was also said,
Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.
But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.”
