Question of the Week for

September 27

To what have I said no recently that I regret now? How can I turn around and make up for that?

     To understand Ezekiel’s assertions in the first reading, it helps to see God as the source of light and life. When we act virtuously, we are turned toward the source of light and life, enjoying the ability to see and to thrive. But when we commit sin, we turn away from God, stepping at once into darkness. We cannot use all the good things we did in the past to offset our sin any more than the person plunged into darkness can use their time living in the light to light up the darkness. However, we can do what the second person in Ezekiel’s example did, turn away from darkness and back to righteousness and justice, receiving the mercy God always stands ready to offer.
