But the goodness I am talking about is a virtuous goodness, a fruit of the Holy Spirit,a Chirtian catholic goodness, a goodness that seeks perfection and holiness in everything we think, say or do. And the goodness that comes from goodness itself, GOD. Thats my definition of goodness. Being good (holy) because its in our nature to be with Him one day and that we naturally cling to goodness. we simply should want to be "good" holy Christians. Who show aztecs and Iroquis WHERE their goodness comes from. why is goodness so hard to understand? Why does it all have to be so complicated? Goodness to me is laying down your life for your friend, or giving your coat to the man that has nothing on his back. Burying the dead, praying for both the living and the dead, having a true love and appreciation for God and then going out and making faishers of men. Seems pretty simple to me. katie Giangiulionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-80068288223373630272012-10-31T17:18:49.806-05:002012-10-31T17:18:49.806-05:00Would I want to be good because I want to be good?...Would I want to be good because I want to be good? Yes. Absolutely. But the problem has always been understanding what exactly is good. <br /><br />The Aztecs had their definition of what is good. The Iroquis had their idea of what is good. Christ had the most challenging definition of what is good. And I like it.Fr.

I still remember what a nun said one day in Faith Formation (CCD). She said, “Everyone goes to heaven.” Now that I look back at it, I think that was the moment I stopped believing in God. Although I was a child, I could still think for myself. And I kept thinking to myself, “If everyone goes to heaven, they why be good?” <br /><br />Hmmm...what a silly thing for a nun to say! But I am thinking, wouldn't you want to be good because you WANT to be good? Because you love Jesus? Regardless if you are "garanteed" heaven or not? That to me, is unconditional love. I would have told that nun, if she had said that to me...Many good people go to hell!katie Giangiulionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-15537828897237993892012-10-31T13:27:54.091-05:002012-10-31T13:27:54.091-05:00So Damm!
