LJ2021 – Day 16 – Duality

Lenten Journey 2021:
Faith in a Post Pandemic World

Day 16: Duality
[The younger son said,] I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you…’ – Jesus (Luke 15)

 
Humans: We are body and spirit. Our actions have consequences in the natural world and in the spiritual world. To say we have sinned, means that we have hurt someone, even if that someone is one’s self. Therein, we understand the sin against heaven and earth. Likewise, to say we have done good, such as an act of charity, will have consequences in the natural world and in the spiritual world. Those acts of goodness will have weight on Earth as well as in heaven.
