(Rom. 7, 14–8; Matt. 10, 9–15) The Lord also told the apostles that if any city does not accept them and does not listen to their words, then “it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that city” (Matthew 10:15). What will happen to us for not listening to the words of Divine Revelation? Our bleakness and measures will not exist. After so much tangible evidence, not believing the truth of God is the same as falling into blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. And yet, we are not timid. The spiritualists console one: “What a judgment! You’ll just have to be born again.” The scribes explain to another: “Whom to judge? All atoms: they will fly apart and everything will end.” But, friends, the hour of death will come; these dreams will scatter like ghosts, and reality will appear in all its inexorability. What then?... These are our poor times! The enemy has managed to destroy our souls. He knows that the fear of death and judgment is the most powerful means of sobering up the soul, and he takes care in every possible way to disperse it, and manages to do so. But extinguish this fear, the fear of God will go away; and without the fear of God, the conscience becomes mute. And the soul became empty, became a waterless cloud, carried by every wind of teachings and every impulse of passion. You might be interested in:
