Two eyes with two sights

Gospel Thoughts

*Ordinary Season : C Cycle : 7th Week - Thursday*

*GOSPEL -  Mk 9:41-50*

*FIRST READING - Jas 5:1-6*

*Two eyes with two sights*

*1) God has given us Two beautiful eyes*

Eyes are one of the best and beautiful creations of God. 

Eyes give a special beauty to the face and to the person 

Nothing in this world can replace the function of our eyes 

Eyes show our real nature. Eyes can't tell lies. Eyes can't hide the emotions and eyes can't remain neutral, when something goes wrong with the person 

Eyes are the miracles of God. No amount of Money can bring the eye sight back if it loses it 

It is said *A tear is made of 1% water and 99% of feelings*

*2) Eyes can have Two Sights*

God given eyes can be used to see various things. Accordingly we can divide in a broad way things things in whatever we see. 

*A) Good Sight*

Our eyes can be used to see good things 

There are numerous good things in an around us. God has created them all. 

God has given eyes to see these things and to praise God 

One who has good sight will be able to see goodness inn everything. Even in bad things he/she will see something good 

*B) Bad sight*

Our eye sight becomes bad, when we allow our eyes to see, bad and unholy things 

There are millions and millions of unholy things in and around us. Our eyes can be used to see these things and allow ourselves to be controlled and spoiled by these things 

Bad sights ruions our life and our character

*3) Jesus says, pluck this bad sight from your eyes*

When Jesus says *And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out*

We are all sure, that the bad sight, which is in us, causes us to sin, need to be plucked out 

Once this unholy sight is plucked from our eyes, we can train our eyes to see only good and holy things. 

That's why removing or plucking out the unholy sight in very much necessary in our life. 

*4) Am I ready to pluck out my Unholy sight?*

All of us have the influence of unholy eye sight in our life 

As long as this unholy sight, remains in our life, no concrete good can be seen in our life 

In my life, only I can pluck out the sight for unholy things in our Life 

*Am I ready to pluck out the unholy sight from our life?*

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
