What is Required to Receive the Grace of God?

What is Required to Receive the Grace of God? What is required to grow in the reality of salvation? This is what the readings explore today! It’s an amazingly important set of questions, but rarely are we asked directly. The first reading from the prophet Amos is remarkable and perhaps surprising. The words God gives to us through His prophet are . . . hard words. They are words for humans to turn away from wickedness or face the destruction that wickedness always leads to in the end. God is well aware that His warnings will be ignored. As a result, the self-destructive consequence will occur. Hear more within the Homily. Listen to this Meditation Media.
