GOSPEL THOUGHTS*
*Ordinary Season : 23rd Week : Friday*
*Gospel : Lk 6:39-42*
*First Reading : 1 Cor 9:16-19, 22b-27*
*Am I running aimlessly?*
*1) Do not run aimlessly*
This particular phrase is found in today's first reading.
We need to think about this phrase very seriously, because, this particular phrase speaks about the aim of our life
*2) God has created us with a aim for our life*
All of us are created in the image and likeness of God.
When God created us in His likeness and image, He has also fixed a aim for our life
There is no human life without purpose aim. So it is very important to know the aim of our life.
*3) What is the Aim of our life according to God??*
First of all God has created us to love him, to love one another, to live a good life and finally to attain eternal life after our death
To live a value based life
To help the needy
To serve others
To heal others
To forgive others
To see God in fellow being
To become a genuine person
To live a holy life
To have God experience
To follow Jesus
To follow the Cross
*4) Confused aim of our life*
At times the aim of our life is confused
Many think the aim of their life is to accumulate wealth, money, name, power, position etc
Some think the aim of their life is to become great in this life, without giving any importance to right means to attian the aim of life
*5) Aimless life and Blindness*
The Gospel of the day speaks about two blind people. One blind man leading another. Both fall into a pit
Aimless life is equal to a blind man, who is not able to lead another person
Aimless life is useless and one can't achieve anything in life
*6) What is the aim of my Life?*
Is my aim depends on Heavenly things or Worldly things?
Am I running behind aimless things?
Doing good things should be our aim
Living Good and holy life should be the Aim of our life
So what is the Aim of my life??
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
