holy holy.....
everyone seems to think that the holiest people you can find on planet earth are the people who go to church regulary. the priests are super duper holy!
but if we pause and think, actually people who goes to church are the most unholy people. big time sinners. if anyone who deserve a place in heaven, it will not be people like me.....
we recognise our sins, we are there to ask for God's divine grace and forgivness. we pray that we have the strength to overcome temptation and sin again.
we are not worthy to even step into the church. but with God's unlimted love and grace, we are invited to go to him and he will forgive us.... yes..just like that.
its the same for the priest. they are just instruments of God. a vessal God use to spread his Good News. priests are humans too. and to be human is to err. they do sin. theya re like you and me, they do have a bad temper, a fowl mouth..... the also lust.... every now and then they fall into temptation, but God gave them the boundless grace to overcome all.
so don't look at a church goer or a priest as saints or holy people. look at our faults and our sins, look at as human beings first, and pray for our weakness and grace from God.
another useless thought.
