Being progressive or keeping the law?
2 Jn 4-9; Lk 17: 26-37
Commandments make it easy for us to choose the right things in life. Jesus makes it further simple by simplifying that commandments themselves to: LOVE.
The readings these days portray a sense of urgency running the fag ènd of the the Liturgical year. We are invited to think about our choices and the single mindedness of our life. At times we feel bad to obey a commandment or keep a law as part of our spirituality, because we think it undermines our "progressive" thinking and capacity for mature commitments. But maturity infact lies in Informed Convictions and Single minded Perseverance. And the way to it: listening to the Lord and living our daily in God's light.
