“Jacob I have loved. Esau, I have hated.”

Daily Column, Obeying God's Word

Abel and Cain reappear as Jacob and Esau. Both Testaments, (Malachi 1;3 and Romans, 9;13) agree that God loved Jacob and hated Esau.

So it continues to be. God loves those who love and obey Him, and hates those who do not. We can get an indication of how we stand with Him by looking at where we stand on issues like abortion and euthanasia. If we are part of the Culture of Death, we are on the side of Cain and Esau.

Author's Notes:

To many, the greatest book of the last century is The Diary of St. Faustina. It helps each of us see and share how deeply Jesus loves our souls. Another wonderful resource are these daily reflections drawn from Divine Mercy.

We also offer many other free books. While they pale in comparison to The Diary of St. Faustina, sometimes an anonymous inventor with over 200 patents finds new, simple reasons to Be Catholic that are worth sharing. Being anonymous and free is the best way to let readers know the author is more interested in sharing Catholic Truth than in fame and fortune.

Please consider sharing catholicfundamentalism.com and the simple reasons we present each day to be Catholic. If we do not share, who will?
