The Book of Sirach Ch 17 v- 14 AND 15

14 (God) said to them, “Avoid all evil”; to each of them He gave precepts about their neighbor. 15 Their ways are ever known to him, they cannot be hidden from his eyes.

God, the Creator of the universe, knows all and sees all. His wisdom and understanding surpasses our human comprehension. When He commands us to avoid all evil, it is not out of a desire to control us or restrict our freedom, but out of a deep love for us and a desire for our well-being.

Evil, by its very nature, is harmful and destructive. It leads us away from God and His plans for us. When we engage in sinful behavior, we not only harm ourselves but also those around us. We may think that we can hide our sins and evade the consequences, but nothing is hidden from God's eyes. He sees all - the good and the bad, the righteous and the wicked.

Listening to God's Command to avoid all evil is not only a matter of obedience but also a matter of wisdom. He knows the consequences of our actions and the impact they will have on our lives and the lives of others. By following His guidance and staying away from evil, we are protecting ourselves from harm and aligning ourselves with His perfect will for us.

In a world that often glorifies sin and encourages us to indulge in our selfish desires, it can be easy to stray from God's path and fall into temptation. But when we choose to listen to Him and follow His Commandments, we are choosing a life of peace, joy, and righteousness. We are choosing to walk in His light and experience His blessings.

So let us heed God's warning to avoid all evil, for His ways are forever known to Him. Let us trust in His infinite wisdom and love, knowing that He only desires what is best for us. And let us strive to live a life that honors Him and brings glory to His Name. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for a Praise God thank You Jesus for Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

02-19-2024 Sirach 17 v-1415

**Evil all avoid**

Mankind told by their Creator

Evil all avoid

His Precepts given your Arbitrator

Neighbor love never again annoyed

God knows each and every one

Hidden nothing from Him

Identified by His only begotten Son

Forgiveness for your sin
