Thursday after Ash Wednesday: "Choose life"

... then,
that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God,
heeding his voice, and holding fast to him.

The way of Christ "leads to life"; a contrary way "leads to destruction." The Gospel parable of the two ways remains ever present in the catechesis of the Church; it shows the importance of moral decisions for our salvation: "There are two ways, the one of life, the other of death; but between the two, there is a great difference."
-- CCC 1696
