Ep 2961Sirach’s Warning: Your Choices Have Consequences - Deacon Randy Kiel - 02/12/2026

In this week’s reflection on the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Randy Kiel focuses on the first reading from Sirach 15:15–20 — a direct and challenging reminder that God sets before us life and death, fire and water, good and evil.Sirach makes it clear: God does not force our hand. He gives us freedom, but we are accountable for how we use it. This reading confronts modern excuses and calls Catholics back to personal responsibility, obedience, and trust in God’s commandments.Read the full passage here:https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021526.cfm#SundayReadings #Sirach #CatholicTeaching #FreeWill #CatholicMorningShow Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm. LINKSYou can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube!
