Tuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time of the Year
Mystery of the day: Sorrowful
Table of the Word:
RI: Hebrews 6:10-20
Gospel: Mark 2:23-28
"May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ enlighten the eyes of our hearts that we might know what is the hope to which he has called us." (Ephesians 1:17-18 )
Theme: The future Glory.
St. Paul in his letter to the Church of Rome made it crystally clear that the glory awaiting us cannot be compared to the present tribulations (cf. Romans 8:18)
In another place, being the gospel acclamation of today he prayed with the Church in Ephesus that the good Lord may enlighten our eyes so as to know what hope to which He has called us. (Ephesians 1:17-18 )
However, we are being tossed around with the trials of life, challenges and pains; amidst this scenario God is still at work for He says in all these we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us. (cf. Romans8:37).
The beauty of our existence her in this ephemeral world is that, God is always at work, to nurture and amend when we get it wrong.
On ourown pet, we're obliged to be focused on our pilgrimage bearing in mind that our destination is in Christ alone, else we will drift from.the right part the the future glory awaiting us will elude us.
Finally, let our lives speak of Him whom we hope to see, through thoughts, words and actions. Peace be with you!
Let us pray
Eternal God, we are grateful to You for the wonders of Your creation which we are blessed with. We pray for a renewed spirit to see beyond the present situation and hope in You alone. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
