Integrity: Being Slaves to Righteousness
Wednesday, 29th Week in Ordinary Time
Rom 6: 12-18 -18; Lk 12: 39-48
Jesus continues his instruction as to how we need to be prepared for that hour of reckoning at any point of time in our life. Infact Jesus is ridiculing all the funny discussions and calculations about when that hour will come - some self proclaimed eschatalogical quacks make much ado of the end and its timings and miss the entire point that Jesus is driving home here. No matter when and where, you know what to do and why to do it. Take care how you do it - not seeking human attention but going by merely God's approval.
This is what we call Integrity where I don't need an external recognition and I have developed an internal system of convictions and criteria that makes me almost a "slave" to Righteousness... doing nothing but good, speaking nothing but good, thinking nothing but good, no matter how unlikely the returns are, or what the consequences would be. I am good and righteous and there is no because!
