WORD 2day: Saturday, 1st week in Ordinary time
January 17, 2026 - 1 Samuel 9:1-4,17-19,10:1; Mark 2:13-17
The Word presents to us today two persons in search... one, who went in search of the donkeys and the other, who went in search of the sinners... one similarity: both of them, for the sake of their father's wish!
Though the comparison is strange, the fact is that both are kings... one the first king of Israel and the latter the eternal King of heaven and earth. We may consider ourselves worthless and dumb as donkeys, but the truth is the Lord is in search of us. Many a times we speak of the humanity that is in search of God... but how much more true it is to think of the Lord who is in search of each of us.
Let us open ourselves up to the Lord; invite the King into our hearts; and the King shall reign for ever in our lives and through us, reach out to many more who are lost and are searching for themselves! I do realise that I have been too allegorical today, but the message is simple: to be forever open to the Lord, in a sense of daily conversion and repentance, ever growing more and more as children of God.
