Why are you anxious about clothes?

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season: Eleventh Week : Saturday*

*Gospel : Mt 6:24-34*

*First Reading : 2 Chr 24:17-25*

*Why are you anxious about clothes?*

*1) Market for clothes*

Clothes are one of the basic needs of Human life 

The present day world runs on few things. Among thrm food and clothes take the primary place 

The economy is also partially controlled by food and clothing. 

So there is heavy market for clothes

*2) From need to the Greed*

Clothes are one of the basic needs of human life

When the need becomes greed it becomes a problem 

Today for many the need of clothes has become a greed 

This also creates a kind of anxiety abd worry in life 

*3) The amount of time we spend in clothes*

Some people spend lots of time in selecting the clothes

Some are never satisfied with choice they have 

Some spend time in wearing clothes. 

We need to pay attention on how much time we spend on selecting, safeguarding and wearing the various dresses in our life

*4) Clothes and Style*

One of the intentions to wearing the clothes is to respect human body 

Decent dress always speaks about the character of the person. Dress shows us what type of personality we have in life 

Today style has become the rule of life. Without which world does not move forward

The various styles of clothes have sold the dignity of human body 

*5) Anxious about clothes*

One of real issues of human life 

People have become anxious about dress

Anxious about what type of dress to wear 

Anxious about, how do I look in this  particular dress? 

Anxious about, possessing variety of dress

Anxious about outdated  style

Anxious about the colour combinations of the dress 

Anxious about wearing full dress?

*6)Baptism, Holy Garment and wedding garment*

During the time of Baptism, white clothe was placed on us to highlight the purity of life 

Jesus' parable on the wedding garment also calls us to look at put wedding garment 

So, am I anxious about  the clothes? 

Anxiety arises when we spend too much of time and energy, in clothes. 

*Think about it*

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