Second Wednesday of Advent
Is 40: 25-31; Mt 11: 28-30
The Temple Run...the life's run
A famous game on the ipads and iphones among the young today, is the Temple Run. I have been fascinated by it the few times that I have seen it. It is nothing but a man who keeps running...he has a devil chasing him and he has to keep running. On the way though he has a devil behind him, he is worried about picking up coins and diamonds so that he can move on ahead having benefits and lives.
Looking at it, one is reminded of how our lives are ...running all the time from pillar to post for so many varied things, and in the meanwhile concerned about collecting and hoarding things for the present and the future. It has become a need today and looks so rare that anyone will shrink from this running around! A Christian is no exception to this process.
The Lord assures his sons and daughters that God will be with us strengthening us in this life and all its trials...you will run but will not grow tired, you will walk but will not grow faint...if and only if you have God with you! The Lord expresses his wish to comfort us and assist us, it is upto us to receive this grace and accept his accompaniment.
