WORD 2day: 13th September, 2016

Can you say, Do not Cry?

Tuesday, 24th week in Ordinary Time
1 Cor 12: 12-14, 27-31; Lk 7: 11-17

There is a talk all around these couple of days about the ongoing rioting in Karnataka (a state in the South of India)...there are any number of messages being circulated among the Tamils spreading hate against the kannadikas and the same among kannadikas against the Tamils! Don't we see that these messages spread are only adding fuel to the fire? How many are really intent at this time to spread messages of hope, unity, assurance and good will? How many refuse to succumb to the evil that is spread by the political miscreants and stay clear of this mob mentality? Those are truly people of God, able to see the oneness of humanity beyond all differences and disparities! Like Jesus, do we have the eye to see the sufferings of all people beyond the fact that they are different from us? Are we able to say to ANYONE (without allusions to affiliations) suffering, 'do not cry'?
