Does non-Catholic worship please God?

Our Lord teaches that no worship can be acceptable while we harbour malice in our hearts, or stand outside the unity of the Church.​


Editor’s Notes

In this section, Fr. Coleridge tells us…

  • How Christ declares that charity is a condition for offering anything to God.
  • That peace with our neighbour is necessary even for entering into divine worship.
  • Why interior bitterness or schism renders all acts of zeal unacceptable.
Reconciliation, both personal and ecclesial, must precede sacrifice if we are truly to worship God.

For more context on this section, and its place in the Gospel and the Liturgy, see the previous part.
