     | 4,562 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    In his anger Jonah seeks to extinguish the grace and compassion which God has shown to Nineveh. As we go through life we need to be aware of those times when we have also extinguished the grace of God and found ourselves in a place where God is asking, “Do you have a right to be angry?”
