Ordinary 19
Paul writes to the Ephesians "Don't grieve the Holy Spirit". It reminds me of Jesus saying the only unforgiveable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It is presumpous to think we could "hurt" God. Our disrespect or negligent attitudes toward God affects us. People in love make signs of love to deepen the love. Consider what happens to a marriage when one of the parties turns hostile toward the other.
The first reading and Gospel point us to the Eucharist. What we might say about St. Paul's advice is "don't sin against the Eucharist by coming with hatred, bitterness, agner or resentment in your heart." Come early and make a good Act of Contrition as preparation for receiving the Eucharist. Confession would be better: Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 PM and Saturday at 3:30.
