WORD 2day: Monday, 29th week in Ordinary time
The unfortunate tendency today is to fend so much for the tomorrow that today is totally sacrificed. Though there is so little a chance for this right now, with the health crisis around and the pandemic restrictions, but have you noticed people visiting new sites, tourists visiting exotic places. In the present cultural trend it is increasingly becoming frequent to see people busy taking photos and selfies in the place, they hardly stop, look, observe and enjoy the place, to see which they had travelled thus far! They are so busy photographing the present moment for memory, that they fail to live the present in its entirety.
It is not just them; that was only an example, an analogy to the way we live our lives today. There is so much of worries about the future that we are in fact all the time living our tomorrows at the cost of today. What do I do if this happens? How will I manage if this changes to that? What will be my next step after completing this? Thinking all of this, we miss the real-time moment and all that it has to offer to our life and our wholesome growth!
The Word reminds us today: life is given to us to live, and not to worry. If only we are convinced that we belong to God, our worries about tomorrow will be mellowed down, allowing, permitting and enabling us to live our present to the full.
If today I am called to render an account of my life, would I be able to say, 'yes, I have lived it to the full'?
