WORD 2day: 1st September, 2017
Friday, 21st week in Ordinary Time
1 Thes 4: 1-8; Mt 25: 1-13
Pagans are those who do not know God, defines Paul and according to his definition when they do not know God, they do not know what God expects of them.When they do not know what God wants of them, they will be ill prepared in their life to meet God and respond to God's invitation. When they fall short of it and get left behind the closed doors, the Lord would declare that he knows them not too!
Struggling to measure up to the call that Lord extends is human but making a farce of it by willful and unrepentant compromises is devilish and the Lord will find himself so far away from these sort of people.
I can say it is difficult for me to respond to the call the Lord has given me, but if I say I do not know it, I am a liar. For all of us know what the Lord wants of us - inspite of all the enormous challenges, the call is to BE HOLY and I have no other option!
