WORD 2day: 13th February, 2017

Holding your head high...

Monday, 6th week in Ordinary time
Gen 4:1-15,25;  Mk 8:1-13

If you do well, you can hold your head high, the Lord tells Cain. It is the same that Jesus demonstrates through himself in the gospel. He lived his life, his convictions, his mission so well that he had his head always held high. Jesus invites us too to live with our heads held high - with our unwavering commitment to the Reign, our undaunted spirit of self giving and an inevitable readiness to put up with inconveniences!

Entire country is smiling at the folly that is going on in the name of politics in the state of  Tamilnadu, where I live. The legislators are backing up a person who is seen by the people as involved in an unholy scheme of things. Once the stand off is over, can the legislators really come to meet their own people with their heads held high?

Our choices and our life have to be integral to live our daily life with our heads held high.
