Faithful Relationships - the crux of Christianity
Friday, 7th week in Ordinary Time
Sir 6:5-17; Mk 10:1-12
It is not rules, regulations and rituals that are at the center of Christian life and practice, but persons, community and relationships. Genuine and sincere relationships at all levels is the true sign of Christian life. The Word today invites us to reflect on two long standing relationships in any person's life: Friendship and Marriage!
In both these what is expected of a person is faithfulness, to be sincere, genuine, authentic and integral. A faithful friend is a sure shelter and beyond price; whoever has found one has found a rare treasure! Instead of beginning to search you friendlist for the one who is such to you, begin thinking to whom are you such a treasure! It is high time today, specially for the younger generation, to leave the portals of the virtual friendship and enter into true, life changing, long standing, meaning giving relationships.
