GOSPEL THOUGHTS
*Ordinary Season : 29th Week : Friday*
*Gospel : Lk 12:54-59*
*First Reading : Rom 7:18-25a*
*Am I able to interpret the present time of my Life?*
*1) Interpretation of the Nature*
The Gospel of the day speaks about the interpretation of the nature
By seeing some signs in the nature, one can easily interpret the nature.
Most of the times our interpretations of the nature become true, especially about rain and other simple things
*2) Jesus speaks about the interpretation of present time*
From the nature Jesus comes to the interpretation of present time
This present time always has the reference to our life. Present time can't separate from our daily life
If so what is the interpretation of the present time of our life?
*3) positive aspect of our life*
When we interpret the present time of our life, we can count all the positive things in our life
The interpretation of our life, at present depends on God's blessings, good things, the good values we have, good family, good carrier, good mission, good position, good health, good time, joyful moments, lovely friends, and so many other good things
Interpret life from these things. We can really see the beauty of our life
*4) Negative aspects of our Life*
We need to interpret our life at present from the negative aspects of our life
The sinful nature of our life
The weaknesses of our life
The bodily passions of our life
The cravings for power, wealth, money, position, authority, bodily pleasures in our life
We need to interpret our life from these things, to know the present situation of our life
*5) Interpret life from present day Challenges*
The Challenges of media
The challenges of internet
The challenges of mobile
The challenges of drugs
The challenges of alcohol
The challenges of consumerism
The challenges of liberal attitude in morality and in faith matters
*6) Need of interpretation*
There is no doubt that we need to interpret the present time of our life
By interpreting the present situation of our own life from different angles will help us to see the life in its reality and to take the necessary steps for improving the quality of our life
Such interpretation has deep implications on our life while moving towards the holiness
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
