Homily for the Wednesday of the Tenth Week in Ordinary Time

The Lord allows us to choose whether we will follow Him or the false gods and unrighteous ways of the world. While you are free to choose your course of action, you are not free to choose the consequences. Whether for good or bad, consequences follow as a natural result of the choices you make. Some sinful behavior may bring temporary, worldly pleasure, but such choices delay your progress and lead to heartache and misery. Righteous choices lead to lasting happiness and eternal life.
