Being Godly...
Friday, 8th week in Ordinary Time
Sir 44: 1, 9-13; Mk 11: 11-26
Sir 44: 1, 9-13; Mk 11: 11-26
The readings today speak to us of an essential dimension of human life: being Godly. If we can showcase some difference for being human beings vis-a-vis the 'lower' beings, it has to be by being Godly. However these days the social network seems to present us with cases of many of these animals, the so called 'lower' beings, with qualities and actions much more edifying than those of the humans.
Today the Word outlines 2 signs of being Godly...
Being rooted in God - finding one's solace and fulfillment in nothing less than God, finding the hand of God in every bit of one's well being, being grateful for and conscious of the good that God continues to do, standing by to find out God's will and accompaniment in daily journeys of life. ..these are signs of being rooted in God.
Bearing forth God's fruits - one who bears forth God's fruits will bear it forth for others and not make a living out of it as it was happening in the Temple; he or she will bear it forth in season and out of season, in abundance and always mindful that the fruits belong to God.
