Rewards of the Just Judge
Tuesday, 8th week in Ordinary Time
Sir 35:2-15; Mk 10: 28-31
That the Lord is just, is not always a convenient thing for us. At times even the best of things that we do, may not really be deigned as good owing to the intention that is behind its doing. We may act kind to someone, expecting something in return. We may try to please someone because we wish to obtain a favour from the person. We may close an eye to a fault of someone merely because we like the person and make a mountain out of molehill just because we may not like the person. All these are not factors that are known to an apparent eye; but the Lord knows them all. The Lord knows us through and through. Considering that the Lord is judge, the rewards may not be always what we like or enjoy, but the rewards will always be a means of enhancing the goodness in a child.
In simple words, what we do is important; but why we do what we do and what we want to achieve through what we do, they matter a lot. I am not what I do, but I am what I think as I do whatever I do.
