If we deny God, we deny His love and mercy. If we deny all of that then what do we admit to? And what exactly do we have because we don't have what we truly need?

St Paul describes Jesus as the Capstone - "The greatest part of something." And we are invited to be part of Him and it.

Jesus shows and clearly tells us what is rightly done on Sundays. We worship God. But we also take care of neighbors in need. The Sabbath is a day abounding in love.

Abel's blood cried out justice. Jesus' blood cried out for mercy; an end to death and forgiveness of sins.

We are precious to God. He desires us to be with Him eternally. But we are sinful. So God cultivates us through life experiences to bring about holy growth which will produce much fruit.
