From sadness to gladness
Fourth week in Lent: Monday, 16th Mar, 2015
Is 65:17-21; Jn 4: 43-54
From sadness to gladness is the journey the Lord invites us to. It is surprising that many a persons find it a journey either unnecessary or unrealistic. They feel they can remain with sadness and that they are destined to remain with such sadnesses. Interestingly half of the journey consists in deciding to turn and walk, as did the royal official in the Gospel account today. How long are we going to stand staring at problems and confusions and misgivings and misunderstandings in life? The Lord says, just believe and turn and walk towards the peace and serenity that I offer. Are we ready to set off with faith and hope, on that journey: from sadness to gladness!
