Last year, in a faraway magical land known as Italia. A study figured out what month the average Italian gives up on their New Year’s resolution. And you may have guessed it, it’s February. If you didn’t know, February is one month after January. That’s not much time. The realization is that we want to follow through on things; we don’t want to give up. But the problem is that we are not convicted enough to be able to follow through. But there’s nothing more significant to be convicted about on this Earth than Jesus Christ and his promise of being the way, the truth, and the life.
So we are now in February, and my invitation is to follow through with the Lord. Ask Jesus for a greater conviction of your faith. Because we’re no longer talking about New Year’s resolutions but about eternity.

Accused For Failing
Like this message if you have ever messed up or failed, and then someone accused you for it. Accusation hurts. It unlocks shame in our hearts. And that is one thing not present in this Sunday’s first reading. In Genesis, Adam fails. And so, right after Adam’s sins, what does God do? He asks one symbol question, “Where are you?” He does not accuse. He does not say, “Well, I knew you were…
