FIRST READING: Ezekiel 18:1-10,13,30-32 / GOSPEL: Matthew 19:13-15
When I read the readings I was startled and amazed by what the Lord spoke through the reading to me. Every one who has sinned will die. Whether it is father or son, daughter or mother, everyone. What kind of death does God is speaking about? The habitual sin leads our conscience to death. Where one can not distinguish between good and evil for her or him. The world today is proceeding towards this kind of trend. Where people tend to remain dead in their conscience. When there is suffering, pain and anguish in the world where we live, we are indifferent to the reality. Reasons can be many. We do not want to soil our hands or we tend to think, it's not our business. Then what could be an active would be? It is that of a child, pure and energetic. Active conscience would feel the suffering of others and would respond to it naturally. Let us pray that we may inculcate in us the virtue of a child like spirit and heart.
