Summary

This quote suggests that when there is conflict between one's actions and their moral values, there are two potential paths to resolving it. The first is to alter one's behavior and make different choices, thereby aligning their actions with their conscience. The second option is to examine and adjust their moral beliefs or conscience itself, possibly reassessing or reinterpreting their values to align with their life choices. In both cases, the quote implies that a harmonious balance between one's actions and conscience can be achieved, but through different approaches.

Jesus is a descendant of David, the beloved of God. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who was born into this world and died and rose again. Saint John calls him the Word and the Light. When he died, he did so as atonement for our sins, and when he rose, he did so to defeat the power and curse of death and hell on this once-holy world. Do you believe in him?
