While you are still on the way!
Thursday, 10th week in Ordinary Time
1 Kgs 18: 41-46; Mt 5: 20-26
The connecting thread between the first reading and the Gospel today is what one can do while he or she is still on the way! While you still have the time and the opportunity, better reform your life, warns the Word today. At times we keep postponing our decision to turn good, and finally find there is no time or possibility, or that things have gone too far or we have already started facing the consequences of the erstwhile mistakes!
Why waste time while you know it is not going to help in the long run? Unnecessary cravings, unrealistic dreams, uncharitable priorities, ungodly presumptions, unfriendly attitudes, unholy practices...everything has to end! The Lord wants us to make a choice, clear and concrete, for the sake of the Reign. Seek ye first the Reign of God... hasten to choose the Reign, lest you fail to belong to the Reign. Decide and Stand up for the Reign, while you are still on the way!
