GOOD NEvtISSirach r5:r5-zo / e Corinthians e:6-ro / Matthew 5:r.7-37

ln eg6 psychiatrist Karl Menninger wrote a book called Whatever Became ofSrn? (Hawthorne Books). lt seems that in the backlash against feelings ofexcessive guilt many people embraced the notion that they weren'tresponsible for what they did. Their parents, or the way they were raised, orother people made them do evilthings. The popular phrase 'the devil mademe do it" captures the sentiment of the era. Menninger wondered about theimpact of a world without sin.

Therapists were right about the danEer of feeling guilty all the time, andour reactions to past hurts and behaviors are a normal part of growing up.

But mature adults also know that reactions come in many forms. When we

choose to react to events or people with behaviors or words that hurt othersor ourselves, we are responsible and we have sinned. When we choose to dosomething that is wrong simply because k's easier than doing what's right,we've sinned-however mild or unnoticeable we think that sin is.

ln today's readings, Sirach and Jesus hold us accountable for our actions andour thouglrts in no uncertain terms. These Scriptures are part of theunderpinnings of the Church's theology of sin, which is not meant to make

us craz5it's meart to make us free to love others and ourselves in spite oftheir brokenness and ours.

Can we be perfect? Well, that's a long road. But God wants to help us alongthat road. We can begin by examining our own conscience for the places andtimes we've fallen short of the callto love.

People can convert to Catholicism at eny time, but l,entand Easter are especially associated with the journey ofbelievers into our communion-

If a person is in danger of imminent death, receptioninto the Church can happen in a matter of moments at anytime during the year. Flowever, most people who wmt tojoin the Chureh needn't mstr The Church can graduallytutor them in the life and faith of the community over thecourse of ayear or more- Adult comrefts normally do thisthrough the Rite of Christian Initiation ofAdults (RCIA),which helps move people from a stage of curiosity andioqoiry iuto fully conscious and actirre participation in the6ith and life of the Church. It does this while a$endingtnthe rhythm ofthe Churctr's liturgicd year.

Lent plays a key role in the RCIAas a seeson of intense*prrit"*l preparation for those who wiltr be received intothe Church at the Easter Vigil The Easter season is thetraditional time for new comrere to engege in the periodof mystagogy-vfien thuy orplore with the faithcommunity the significance of the mysteries they're nowli"i"g in their hptisrn, confirmation, and celebration ofthe Eucharist
