God. First. Always.

Too often, in setting our priorities, we resort to casuistry and complication. It is as though we think that by adding nuance and gradation we can sideline the mandates of God’s law or bend them to our own ends. “God. First. Always.” is a simple antidote to this approach. God is the beginning and end of all things. He, along with his law and his Church, come first. And he comes first in every consideration all the time.

To put God first always is to draw a battle line between ourselves and the spirit of the world, to proclaim fearlessly and clearly that we reject the obfuscation and rationalization to which the world tempts us. In every situation, no matter how many shades of gray, it is possible to put God first always.
