A series on King David: Part 3 of 4
David sinned when he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing; when he had pulled back from God’s calling. We have to be careful of comfort and of being distracted, because it leads to a place of being unfaithful. Instead, we have to keep moving forward in God’s will, which can regularly take us to less comfortable places. We’re called to lay down our lives — to endure the crosses of life and get to heaven. It’s not easy…but God’s faithfulness far outweighs our unfaithfulness.
Remember: there are certain things the Lord does that he doesn’t take back, like free will. The same is true with anointing. Keep choosing to do what you’re supposed to be doing, and be faithful to the Father who is always faithful to you.

You Need Community
We have some pretty strong feelings on this topic, and it shows in this week’s episode. Passing through purgatory is the experience that prepares us for heaven. There’s no greater insight into what purgatory is like than family life or community life. The most important thing you’ll bring to your vocation — whether that’s religious life or family life…

Confronted by the Eucharist
When you have a conversion, you live a Eucharistic life, with a gravitational pull to be with Jesus. There, no matter how you feel, you know you’re not alone. It’s not just about our desire to go to him, though — he is also drawing us to himself. Allow yourself to be drawn…
