Tuesday, Week 15: "Jesus began to reproach the towns"

where most of his mighty deeds had been done,since they had not repented.

-- Mt 11:20-24

As long as freedom has not bound itself definitively to its ultimate good which is God, there is the possibility of choosing between good and evil, and thus of growing in perfection or of failing and sinning. This freedom characterizes properly human acts. It is the basis of praise or blame, merit or reproach.

-- CCC 1732
