It's all God's doing
Monday, 29th week in ordinary time
Eph 2: 1-10; Lk 12: 13-21
The good work we do and the great achievements we hoard up, the wealth we gather and the treasure we store up, the so-called good name we insist and the status we rave upon... nothing is truly ours and it has never been so. Yesterday as I preached at a funeral of a person just three years elder to me and just as healthy as me, this thought precipitated more in my heart and today the WORD holds it out for our reflection.
Can we become more loving? Can we become more caring? Can we become more merciful? Can we become more faith filled? Can we become more human? Can we become more godly?
Ignatius of Antioch gives us a beautiful example of a life lived for Christ. One of the early fathers of the Church, he invites us to rely on Christ and Christ alone.
