Tuesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time

Tuesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time

We are sinful.  We have all inherited this inclination towards sin.  St. Paul talks about this.  Through one man we are all condemned.  Okay, now that I have you thoroughly depressed, pick yourself up off the floor put a smile on your face, because there is good news.  St. Paul continues that just as one man's transgressions brought about death for many people, so too the gracious gift of Jesus Christ brought about salvation for many.  Christ loves us and so He died for us.  That is why we go to church and pray and do what we can to follow the Commandments.  We want to be close to Christ, because He is our reason for hope for eternal life.
