Friday 29th Week of Ordinary Time

 


What I do is not what I want Rom. 7:18-25


The great St. Paul had his struggles.
He did not always do the good he wanted,
But the evil he did not want.

He had an interior struggle within himself of wanting to do good, but doing evil instead.

Who has not experienced this.
Wanting to say something nice,
But saying something mean instead.

Wanting to avoid overeating
But having that second helping instead.

Wanting to love one’s enemy,
But hating them instead.

The struggle within ourselves is real
And cannot be ignored
And can only be won with the help of Christ
Who will deliver us by His Power and not our own.
