Do What You Already Know to Do

Years ago when I lived in NC and was finishing up my psychology degree I had to take a New Testament Class. I was the only Catholic in the class and the other students asked all kinds of question. Most of the questions led me to learn more about my Catholic Faith. The one thing that stands out most about that class is what the professor said we were discussing how to grow closer to God. "Do what you already know to do."
Growing up we used to pray the rosary as a family every night, and I was not practicing that at the time. I always had many reasons/excuses why I wasn't able to do pray the Rosary, but I knew in my heart that is what I had to do. It took may years until nightly Rosary became a part of my life.
We as a family have received so many Graces from this devotion.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary!

On Salvation.

Can people be saved without willing it?
The common answer to the question is, No. But there is a prime example of salvation going to people who don't will it, baptized babies who die early. Those kids never sinned, but never willed god either, but there parents did.

Even in the Bible there is an example of someone being saved by another Faith: Luke 5:17-26.
It says: When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." The man was paralyzed and did nothing, so it was not his faith but his friends faith that saved him.

Now here is the big question, is this an event that only occurs when the person is unable to make an act of will on there own? I am uncertain of this, for sin can pass from human to human (Best example: Original Sin)

There is my little musing for today....
