Commitment requires effort, giving of one’s time, sacrifice. What are important are not grandiose words but concrete deeds. It’s a warning against professing our faith and then failing to practice it; against making a good beginning and then not persevering.
Moreover, we must remember that faith is not a once-for-all decision, and then “live happily ever after”. But faith must be constantly renewed and reaffirmed.
- Fr. Bel R. San Luis, SVD
