Do Not Consent to Bad Thoughts – Mar 03 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Mar 03, 2023, on how the scribes and Pharisees were righteous only on the outside and how this means that we should have control of things that only God can see, namely our thoughts and specifically not consenting to bad thoughts, doubts, and temptations. Fr. then discusses remedies, including avoiding actions and places that lead to bad thoughts in the first place, being vigilant to recognize them when they come, the strength of will, and recourse to God and Our Lady in prayer.
