You couldnt ever pay enough to atone for all of your sins, so jesus atoned for it. Jesus paid, and all you got to do is make him your savior and if he is your savior then you get into heaven. You get into right relationship with god based on what jesus did and not what you do. We are the only religion on the planet that has that concept. No other religion has this. What a huge distinction between christianity and any other religion and it is the distinguishing characteristic. Its what makes life awesome. As it says in romans, chapter 5 being justified by faith in what jesus did for us is how we have peace with god. The only way that you can have peace is to have a savior. That its his goodness that makes you accepted with god. If the burden is on your back. If you have to earn salvation, there is no peace, because even if you did good yesterday and do good today, tomorrow is a brand new day and you could blow the whole thing and there is no way for you to relax and just rest.

All of thats your imagination and very few people use that. Turn over to romans, chapter 8 and man, im talking fast. Im wearing myself out. Im saying a lot, but let me just say this. If all of these things im saying is true, and theres many, many other scriptures that i havent been able to turn to. If all of this is true. If your imagination is all of this powerful and if thats where you conceive then how come all but one reference in the bible to imagination is negative . The only positive reference is the one i quoted in 1 chronicles 29 18 where david prayed lord, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of their heart, and that was a positive thing. Everything else. It says god saw the imagination of mens hearts that it was evil continually. 2 corinthians, chapter 10, verses 3 through 5, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through god to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself agains

He would wake up after he had been asleep for an hour or two and he would jump up screaming in terror and run around the house, but he didnt recognize me. If i went towards him to comfort him,

Pope francis references the altar at the conclusion of this holy mass. And then processes to the icon of our lady of roman. The holy father processes now to the sacristy.
