I attended Mass this morning. Wonderful First Reading - an excerpt from Saint Paul's Letter to the Galatians...

       If you are led by the Spirit, no law can touch you. 

When self-indulgence is at work the results are obvious: fornication, sodomy and sexual irresponsibility; idolatry and sorcery; feuds and wrangling, jealousy, bad temper and quarrels; disagreements, factions, envy; drunkenness, orgies and similar things. I warn you now, as I warned you before: those who behave like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. What the Spirit brings is very different: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, trustfulness, gentleness and self-control. There can be no law against things like that, of course. You cannot belong to Christ Jesus unless you crucify all self-indulgent passions and desires.

  

Since the Spirit is our life, let us be directed by the Spirit.
