The gift of hope
Friday, 24th week in Ordinary Time
1 Cor 15:12-20; Lk 8:1-3
The worst of experience in our day to day life is having nothing to look forward to. We call it boredom, monotony etc. When it comes to our spiritual life this boredom - dubbed spiritual boredom or spiritual dryness - can be very trying and painful. It can lead to a slackening that can be detrimental to one's progress. Jesus gives us a gift par excellence: Hope! An endless optimism is triggered off with Jesus' resurrection, telling us today a Christian, if he or she is truly convinced of it, can never give into despair! Nothing, absolutely nothing, can drive us to despair for we have Jesus who makes our life meaningful and hopeful. That explains why so many just followed him throwing all their lives at his feet!
