We all answer the call. We all make our verdicts and decisions. We all have our special roles to play. We are all in the same spotlight, speckled by Christ.
A Hasidic wise man once thought that God chooses how many times the leaf will turn into dust before the wind blows it away. In our life, one has to answer the call of Christ. We are given obligations and duties that are to be fulfilled, to be accomplished in every single day. There are several times that we are being pondered new roles or new written scripts that we must get used to, or to be done in just a jiffy. Indeed, we are to be hounded by these indisputable undertakings that must be realized by our own selves.
At times, we are involved in a dilemma wherein certain idea of ours began to clash with others that will result into unrelenting conflicts and disagreements. Perhaps the most important and practical solution to this predicament is to put yourself being the deferential, humble student of your generation and not to be the demanding master-enemy that will stifle each and other’s glum contemplation. In this version of the gospel, Jesus entrusted his apostles a mission, a resolute expectation that is to be fulfilled and to be reminded of their bear fruits that are waiting for them to happen. That is why in such critical and vital moments of our lives, we must think and make shrewd judgments with great sense of prudence and understanding.
(a GOSPEL REFLECTION from Matthew 7:6 12-14)
