Wasted Grace
Baruch 1:15–22; Psalm 78; Luke 10:13–16
Jesus condemned Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, not for ignorance, but for wasting grace. Cities blessed with light, yet drowned in pride.To whom much is given, more is expected; wasted opportunities invite harsher judgment.
Like them, many know the sacraments but neglect them; we hear the truth but delay repentance. Baruch reminds us: negligence, not God, causes most of our suffering. What we call “spiritual attack” is often self-inflicted negligence.
Reject Christ’s messengers, reject Christ Himself; reject Christ, reject God. The choice is yours: wasted grace or saving response. St. Thérèse shows us the better way, embracing sacrifice, not squandering grace.
PRAYER:
Lord, save us from wasted graces and help us respond with true repentance. Amen.
