“YES” has been in Him

“As God is faithful, our word to you is not ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not ‘yes’ and ‘no,’ but ‘yes’ has been in him. For however many are the promises of God, their Yes is in him; therefore, the Amen from us also goes through him to God for glory.” (2 COR 1: 18-20)

St. Paul did not foresee a new group of very modern Christians who say: “yes, but…” Generally, they are positive about the Church’s teaching, but there are always some exceptions: for abortion, IVF, divorce, omission of Sunday Mass or daily prayer, etc. Jesus Christ “was not ‘yes’ and ‘no’, but ‘yes’ has been in him.’” Whatever He promises He keeps: “for however many are the promises of God, their Yes is in him.”

“Let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” (Gospel Acclamation)
