Nothing greater than the Person!
Saturday, 22nd week in Ordinary Time
1 Cor 4: 6-15; Lk 6: 1-5
God has an extremely soft corner for God's children! God has been too good, compassionate and forgiving, loving and accepting, never counting the cost when it comes to loving God's children...even to the extent of sending God's only Son to die for our sakes! The question is, what matters to us, the prodigal children of God : our ego? our wealth? our social status? our popularity? our comfort? our image in front of others? our rules and our systems? our selfish interests? For how many of these reasons we are ready to sacrifice the persons around us - our own parents, life partners, siblings, kith and kin!
The Lord reminds us today: there is nothing more precious than persons around us. Our judgments of others, however right or wrong they are, cannot take away the value that is inherent in every child of God!
