The Right Belief
Tuesday, 14th week in Ordinary Time
Hos 8 :4-7,11-13; Mt 9: 32-37
We widely practice religion but rarely do we truly believe! Practices of piety, fulfilment of the so called ritual requirements, attendance at the Church - these would merely be religion if they do not arise from a belief that is right and real.
Placing our trust on things, relying entirely on what we perform, thinking in terms of appeasement and satisfying sacrifices are modes of religion practiced and do not lead to the right belief.
Our belief is in a person not in a power; it is not about some legalistic fulfilment of requirements but about a loving relationship.
Take a moment during the day today to evaluate how right your belief is!
