BE PRO-LIFE: Choose Life even if it means Death
Thursday after Ash WednesdayDt 30: 15-20; Lk 9: 22-25
One of the pronounced acts of mercy is being pro-life! The readings today give us a precious insight into being pro-life.
Being Pro-life is not merely not killing someone or something. It is promoting life in all its forms, and specially in its fullness. While the first reading says the Lord has set both life and death in front of us, for us to choose, Jesus says he chooses to die! In choosing to die, he infact was choosing to live to the full and give life to all of us, life in all its fullness.
The message that Jesus offers us is very clear: choose life, even if it means death. Even if you have to die, or sacrifice, or suffer, or be antagonised, be hated, be branded negatively...choose to stand by life, be a pro-lifer! Anything that stops you from living your life to the full, be it your so called situation,or your personal attitude, it needs to challenged. For yourself, for others and for every one around you, wish life in its fullness and work towards ensuring it.
The Mercilent Attitude for today: Be Pro-life!
