Tendencies against Fruitfulness
Friday, 16th week in Ordinary Time
Exo 20: 1-17; Mt 13: 18-23
We are well aware of the expectations placed on us as people of God. As the first reading indicates we have clear cut do's and dont's ... but does that make us fruitful in our daily life? Jesus enlists four tendencies that will affect our fruitfulness:
Indifference that would make us live our lives in our own terms;
Initial Fervour that is good but not good enough;
Inhibitions that place various other expectations in contrast to God's;
Integral living of daily life that will grant meaning to everything that we are involved in.
Which of the four dominates my life as of today?
