WORD 2day: 3rd October, 2016

Get the gospel right

Monday,  27th week in Ordinary Time
Gal 1:6-12; Lk 10: 25-37

Recently I got an opportunity to speak to a group which had equal number of Catholics and Non Catholics making up its total.  At the beginning I was a bit conscious of that fact but within a few minutes I resolved the issue within me and stuck to my spontaneity and finally there were so many of those Non Catholic friends who came up to express their gratitude for the insights shared. It was an experience that taught me recently that getting our Gospel right is what matters most.

Jesus speaks of it today.  The right elements of  any Gospel are love of God and love of one's neighbour. When both of these are not compromised for any thing else, however good or desirable they seem to be,  then  we are well on our way to the Reign of God.
