Directed by the Spirit
Wednesday, 28th week in ordinary time
Gal 5: 18-25; Lk 11: 42-46
Our doings need to flow from our being. Our being should be guided by the right spirit, for our doings to be dignified and desirable. When our being and our doings do not synchronise with each other, the person turns out to be either evil or evitable.
Integrity is the most respectable of all virtues. This is what we meant when we spoke of our being and our doings synchronizing with each other. A person who is directed by the Spirit comes out to be an integral person.
Integrity costs, it costs a considerable bit. Some times it costs one's comfort zone, at times one's opportunities vis-a-vis the others who manipulate situations, and at other times it costs one's image as being successful. It is the Spirit who alone can prepare one to pay such costs.
