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Anxious about outdated style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*
