Good: all the time!
Monday, 2 3rd week in Ordinary Time
Col 1: 24 - 2:3; Lk 6: 6-11
Jesus' life holds out to us a challenge that consists of a simple, uncomplicated criterion but highly demanding. The criterion is: be good.
You may have to suffer, take on yourself burdens and brickbats, be misunderstood and be rash judged. ..but never lose your nerves; be good. At any given point if you are left with a question. ..what to do, or what next, or what is my reaction... it is simple: be good. Never lose your goodness for anything or anyone's sake. It is not enough to believe that God is good all the time. ..It is important that I be good all the time and never grow weary of doing good (cf 2 Thes 3: 13).
