Msgr. Pope on the Accounting We Must One Day Make to God

“Earlier . . . at daily Mass, we read from the Book of Proverbs and among the Proverbs we read was this one:

“All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the Lord who measures hearts. (Proverbs 21:2).

“And in this Proverb we see an important reminder for our times.For an increasing attitude of our times it says, in effect, ‘I will do what I want to do, and I will decide whether it is right or wrong.’ In other words, ‘No one is going to tell me what to do, I answer to no one.’”

In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish, Washington, DC) reflected on the accounting we must one day render to God for what we have done (or not done).
