Saturday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time. Year II.1 Cor.15:35-37,42-49; Ps.56; Lk 8:4-15
Sometime ago, I wrote a story wherein I used names that appeared very strange and weird. So many of my readers complained about the strangeness of the names. Only a few had the patience to study them and realise that they were spelt backwards. Life is very much like that. We need to sometimes take things easy, reflect, and discover the simplicity in them. St Paul in the first reading reminds us that what is sown dies, only to live again.
Living in Christ therefore means dying to self. Come to think of it! To have hearts that are able to receive and hold God’s word, the thorns must die, the infertility must die, the distractions and temptations must die, sin must die; whatever does not aid spiritual growth in us must die. See? To truly live in Christ, many things must indeed die. Let the dying and uprooting begin, to the glory of God. Amen. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother intercede for us today and always, amen!
God bless you and your weekend.
