Fruits cannot be forced
Monday, 9th week in Ordinary Time
Tob 1:3 - 2: 1-8; Jn 12: 1-12
Tobit dares all consequences to be righteous in the eyes of the Lord. No king, no threat, no punishment could stop him from being faithful to the call that he believed he had from the Lord. Tobias learns from him. Just as fruits cannot be forced from a tree, faithfulness cannot be forced from a person. He or She will be faithful in as much as the person is convinced about the call that he or she had received from the Lord.
Our life is a call and we are called to bear fruit, when we don't we are missing the point. Let's not wait to be forced to bear fruit, neither should we be pressurised not to. No fruit can be forced and no force can block authentic fruits.
