What deserves the Lord's reward?
Wednesday, 20th week in Ordinary Time
Ezek 34: 1-11; Mt 20: 16-30
Whatever be the commission given by the Lord, big or small, simple or complicated, what counts is not the outcome but our faithfulness to it. What we do and how much we accomplish may be our concern and that of others surrounding us. But for the Lord how we did it and why we did it matters more.
Shepherds or labourers or hired workers... the purity of our motivation and singleminded commitment to the Lord's purposes, that is what deserves the Lord's reward!
