Have you ever made a decision, and then gone back and forth countless times about it afterwards , wondering if you’ve made the right one?
Do I do what is easy or what is right?
It’s often easy, or maybe not easy but easier, to follow certain commandments as opposed to others. Sometimes it’s the smaller ways of obedience that we ought to pay attention to. The Gospel today is a reminder of the need to ponder on the commandments, not just when they’re preached to us, but in everyday life. If there is something that I can do today that can be more pleasing to God than what I was doing yesterday, then I pray that I can have the courage to do it.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference
