WORD 2day: 14th November, 2016

Good but not good enough-  see it!

Monday, 33rd week in Ordinary Time
Rev 1:1-4, 2:1-5; Lk 18: 35-43

The Lord loves us whether or not we deserve it.  But the Lord is not merely mercy but justice too!  Beginning today we listen to the Lord of justice as we begin the week running up to the feast is Christ the king.

Today the Word presents to us a Lord who is demanding and perfect... who feels all God's children are good but some are not good enough!  The question to me is,  do I belong to this category?

I should be able to see to understand if I am good enough or not!  That is a special seeing,  seeing from God's point of view,  seeing with the scale of  the just God, seeing with all my brothers and sisters in perspective,  seeing from the perspective of a goodness that is whole!
