1 Cor 5:1-8 / Luke 6:6-11
To desire for something good, then it is necessary for sacrifices to be made.
So, if we want to be healthy, then we must live a healthy lifestyle and eat healthily.
If we wish to be successful, then we would have to work hard.
Obviously, what is needed will be perseverance and persistence.
God loves us, and through Jesus Christ, He also offers us salvation.
If we wished to be saved, then we must also be faithful to the commandments of God, and to live a holy life.
To say that we desire for salvation and yet living a sinful and immoral life is a contradiction.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul insisted that the sinful person be punished and expelled from the community.
But this is to bring him to his senses and to repent of his sinfulness.
Let us remember to make the examination of our conscience a regular exercise and to turn away from any sinful habit.
Let us desire for salvation and make the necessary sacrifices to attain it.
