The means matters

The end does not justify the means, it only distracts from it.

Every means leads to an end, but does not guarantee a desired end.

Be wary of those who guarantee a perfect end. One day, it will lead to their end, and they will pull down anything and anyone around them.

Whatever the end will be, the means matters.

When the end is understood, you will see that it only exists to perfect the means.

– Osasu Oviawe

One of my favourite psalms

Psalms 91:1-6, 10-11
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
No evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.

Homily:

Amen.
