¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Advice to myself for (at least) the next week:

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where “their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”

Mark 9:43-48

It does not say, “If your hand causes you to sin, try to compromise with it or see if you can make it work or just pretend it’s not there.” NO. CUT IT OFF. 

Yeah, it’s gonna hurt. Yeah, maybe you’ll miss out on some stuff. But guess what—good feelings and temporary happiness are awesome, but they are not God.
