Heard this sermon during today's Mass...and I find it absolutely meaningful......Power vs. AuthorityWe all have the power to make our own decisions, our own choices. Every single one of us, even a child. But, do we make it with the right kind of authority? Do we make these decisions stemming from God's authority and what we know to be His will, or do we make it based on our own thoughts, our will, influence from others and hearsay?Do we make decisions after having prayed about it, and thought through about it, with sureness that this is what God would want for us? Or do we make it out of OUR own will? If your decision is made out of God's authority, the consequences would be compassion and love, even if it is the decision to sack someone. As parents making decisions for their children, are these same decisions of which school to go to, what to do, etc made out of God's authority, or out of your own selfish authority as a parent?Think about it.... God gave us all the power to make our own decisions.... why not exercise this power with the right kind of authority - God's authority...."Listen today to God's voice, harden not your hearts. Today, we hear the voice of our God."
