The Lord calls us 'MY PEOPLE'
Monday, 26th Week in Ordinary Time
Zech 8: 1-8; Lk 9: 46-50
The Lord time and again reiterates that the Lord shall be our God and We shall be the Lord's people. To be the Lord's people, we have to make a choice: there are two grounds presented in the Word today. One, that we behold and recognise the presence of the Lord amidst us! To behold the Lord's presence we should be worthy and prepared. To recognise the presence of the Lord we should be open and eager to experience it.
The second ground is, to live our life according to the Lord's values and criteria. As St. Paul would often remind us: not conforming to the standards of the world but being recreated in the image of Christ (cf. Rom 12:2).
The Lord calls us "My People"... are we prepared and worthy to call the Lord, "My God"?
