Will there be faith?
Saturday, 32nd week in Ordinary Time
Wis 18: 14-16, 19:6-9; Lk 18: 1-8
There is a real anxiety in Jesus' question... will there be faith on earth, when the Son of man comes again! He asks that question looking at the type of people he saw and the mind set they had towards things of spiritual nature. Just as then, even today the question remains pertinent as people are more calculative than committed, more religious minded than faith oriented, more interested in extrenal legalities than integral spirituality!
Will there be faith and will faith be real... the way things seem to be developing, this anxiety has to fill our minds. The Holy Father makes this issue come alive calling us to be today, a Church more and more authentic, true and faithful to the Gospel and its values. Resisting all temptation towards division and sectarianism, fighting all forces that dehumanise the society and establishing a Reign counter to that of injustice and exploitation, we are called to keep the true faith alive. Are we game for that challenge?
