O Blessed Lady, Your Failproof Directive!: Saint Ephrem (Extraordinary Form), Thursday, June 18, 2020


J.M.J.


"Do Whatever It Takes"
versus
"Do Whatever He Tells You"

The first mandate encourages the listener to do the necessary to achieve a goal. This is good advice if the goal in question and the means used are moral.

The second imperative comes from Our Blessed Lady (Saint John 2:5). The Mother of God instructs the servants at the Wedding Feast in Cana of Galilee to do whatever Jesus her Son tells them.

This second imperative is always moral. It is always correct. And it will always lead to everlasting happiness in Heaven.
