WORD 2day: Monday, 29th week in Ordinary time
Ultimately it is my faith that is going to make a difference, says the first reading. And the Gospel corroborates the fact saying, 'if i don't realise that, I am getting more and more foolish!'
Death is a normal and logical certainty and in the face of it, what would anything other than my relationship with God matter to me. The source and destiny of my existence is God and God alone can make any difference to my being in the final analysis - whether in this world or in the existence to come.
Many of us, not only fail to recognise this fact but we deliberately refuse to admit its validity. Pride and Selfishness make one see nothing but himself or herself. Lack of profound understanding of things that happen around, makes one think he or she is capable of anything in this world, until that bubble is burst in a tragic moment!
A bit of realism and humility will bring every one to this thinking but the sad fact is that it takes a whole lifetime for some of us to come to that realisation. If we have arrived at it already, it is a reason to thank God, for having inspired us early. Let us strive grow in that realisation, becoming more and more founded on our faith, and less and less foolish in our life!
