The readings make clear it's time to get our relationship right with God:  It's time to recognize we are sinners.  We have a great Savior Who, by the Paschal Mystery, has made it possible to be restored to right relationship with Go, because He identified Himself with sinners so we could be free from sin and made righteous.

By virtue of our baptism, we are called to be ambassadors of Christ, to transformed and reflect God's character by living holy lives, ultimately living to please God, not just to impress other people.  It's what is in our hearts that truly counts.

St. Paul's words are truly bold because now is the acceptable time and now is the day of salvation, for us to embrace this opportunity God offers us by His grace and mercy.
