Wednesday of the Third Week of Lent

Today's Readings

Matthew 5:17-19


Today’s Gospel teaches how to observe the law of God, and the rewarding and fulfilling feeling it gives when we follow it. Reflecting upon it, it’s important to remember with every action there is a consequence to follow. The laws of God still exist today, and the world reminds us of the tragic things that happen when they are not obeyed. I think it’s also crucial that we don’t forget that even if we disobey a law, or do something immoral that we learn from our mistakes. The most relevant lesson in life we will ever learn will be from the poor decisions we make. Your bad decisions will be the most important teachers you will learn from.  Experience comes from our way of living and understanding, and by the adjustments we make. It also comes from suffering, pain and the troubles we are afflicted by. We need to learn from our mistakes so that we do not run the risk of repeating them.
