(10-second blip @ 6min. 30 sec. point) The presentation is titled \u201cResponding To God\u2019s Love\u201d. Although I responded \u201cYES\u201d to Jesus 36 years ago, it took a while for me to begin living that yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the presentation, each of us had a chance to reflect on the sins that keep us from having a closer friendship with Jesus. They are: Anger, Unforgiveness, Resentment, Sexual immorality, Jealousy, Judgement, Impatience, Selfish ambition, Self-indulgence, Addiction, Greed, Lying, Fear, Gossip, Laziness, Self-pity, the Occult Superstition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Reflection period, we were encouraged to ask God\u2019s forgiveness and to open the door of our heart to a more meaningful relationship with Jesus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Responding To God\u2019s Love! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B5gCFSQWLFo\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B5gCFSQWLFo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accounting of God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A question posed by Fr.
