Last, but not least...

1. Are you saved?

Catholics can be as sure as anyone else that they are in God's good graces. The apostle John states that "you may know that you have eternal life" (1 Jn 5:13 -- see also Jn 5:24). But this "assurance" has to be understood in light of John's other teachings in the same book: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 Jn 5:3, emphasis added -- see also 1 Jn 2:3-6). "We know that any one born of God does not sin" (1 Jn 5:18, emphasis added). "He who loves God should love his brother also" (1 Jn 4:21, emphasis added). "He who commits sin is of the devil" (1 Jn 3:8, emphasis added -- see also 1 Cor 6:9). Likewise, St. Paul does not regard salvation as a one-time event, but as a goal to be sought after, one that can be lost: "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12 -- see also 1 Cor 9:27, 10:12; Gal 5:1, 4; Phil 3:11-14, 1 Tim 4:1, 5:15)

Too many things are going on this week and I don't know how strong I can be for Justyn.. I need him to have some strenght.. even if it's only for this week.. i am going through way too much that it is too much for me to handle.. i need him to be strong for me.. i need him to be there for me..
