Roused in the Spirit

WORD 2day: Monday, 25th week in Ordinary time

September 25, 2023: Ezra 1:1-6; Luke 8:16-18

Sentiments of hatred and violence is strewn all over the News these days. Every day we rise to newer and newer challenges against peaceful life on earth. Direct killings and terrorist fundamentalism on the one side; the hidden agenda and delirious deceptions on the other side, the tension between nations across borders and even across oceans... a normal peace loving human being is forced to feel out of place today, without any reason.

Do not be worried dear sons and daughters of God, says the Word today, "the Lord is in control." The Word seems to assure us indicating that the Lord made use of an alien king Cyrus, to raise God's dwelling and God's people - the same Lord is in control even today!

All that children of God need to do today is, be roused in the Spirit - yes, be roused in the Spirit, share the Word more and more, speak the mercies of the Lord to each other and to everyone, set the world ablaze with the love of the One True God. Only then shall we be called, People of God.

The call is, although challenging, very clear: be children of God, be roused in the Spirit, be lights of the world, burn bright and help people see the Truth.
