We need to develop the attitude of Asking the Right Questions to the Right Persons

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season : Ninth Week :  Thursday*

*Gospel : Mk 12:28-34*

*First Reading : Tb 6:10-11; 7:1bcde, 9-17; 8:4-9a*

*We need to develop the attitude of Asking the Right Questions to the Right Persons*

*1) The question of the Scribe?*

In the Gospel of the day, we find a scribe who is involved in asking question

The question of the Scribe is very important. He is asking a question, which is something to do with life and also the purpose of life 

In other other words, the question of the Scribe makes one to think about the real purpose of life, and the way through which one can achieve it 

*2) He asked question to the Right Person*

The Scribe asked the question to Jesus, who knew the exact answer to the Question

The Scribe might have searched answer to this question in many places or through many ways. But he was not able find an answer

Finally he found a right person to clarify the answer to his question 

*3) Need of Asking Questions*

Only when we have questions, we try to find an answer. If there are no questions, then there is no answer too 

So questions are the sign of growth. The moment we ask questions, we get an answer and thus we get the knowledge of a particular issue 

So it is very much needed to ask questions in our day today life 

*4) Questions concerning with regard Spiritual Life*

It is not enough to ask questions, but one should ask questions about important issues concerning life 

Spirituality is one of the important things which shapes our life. So it is very necessary to ask questions about spiritual life 

But the sad part of our life is that, we hardly ask any questions about spiritual life and living a holy Life 

Since our questions are very limited on spiritual matters our knowledge also remains at the peripheral level, which affects the quality of our life 

*5) What questions do I have in my life?*

How to become rich within a short period of time? 

How to become famous in life? 

How to earn money as much as possible? 

How to face competitions from others to remain at the high place? 

How to mesmerize people to achieve my individual and selfish goals? 

How to amass wealth and money? 

How to become more powerful? 

*6) The important questions of Life*

How to love God more abd More? 

How to live a holy life? 

How to know God more and More? 

How/why to forgive others? 

What is the value of sacrifice, love, generosity, sincerity,  sharing, prayer etc 

These questions are very important in life. 

Am i ready to ask and find out an answer so has to live a good and upright?
