5th September, 2015: Remembering Blessed Mother Teresa
Continuing in faith: stable and steadfast
Col 1: 21-23; Lk 6: 1-5
Col 1: 21-23; Lk 6: 1-5
Stand firm in Faith without drifting away, instructs St Paul in the first reading today. Nothing but faith has to be the foundation of Christian life. Faith is the personal response that one gives to a self-revealing God. Experiences may vary, outcomes may differ and success and failure may find equal probability in what we take up. ..but none of these should make me waver or drift away from the journey I have begun in the Lord.
We have a great example for that today in the person of Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata. A person who had every reason to be shaken and to drift away, but she stood her ground stable and steadfast in faith! Nothing but what God wanted from her, mattered to her. In her life choices, major decisions and day to day living, she based herself on the solid foundation of faith. Many accused her of many things, as we see in the Gospel today, but she remained firm, continuing in faith, stable and steadfast!
