God gives you freedom — but not without responsibility. Deacon Randy Kiel breaks down the powerful first reading from Sirach and explains why your daily choices determine your spiritual future.
In this week’s reflection on the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Randy Kiel focuses on the first reading from Sirach 15:15–20 — a direct and challenging reminder that God sets before us life and death, fire and water, good and evil.
Sirach makes it clear: God does not force our hand. He gives us freedom, but we are accountable for how we use it. This reading confronts modern excuses and calls Catholics back to personal responsibility, obedience, and trust in God’s commandments.
