SATURDAY, 20 AUGUST 2016, "PRACTICE THEN PREACH"

FIRST READING: Ezekiel 43:1-7 / GOSPEL: Matthew 23:1-12
In our day to day life, we get advice from various people who love us and care for us. But we know for sure only advice that touches our heart is of those persons who really practice it in their life. As we can call it walking the talk. It's really a virtue to imbibe in our lives. It's really difficult to practice than preaching. How many times do we not given free advices and suggestions? It must have come out unintentionally. If we reflect before we give some suggestions as to wheather or not I can practice what I tell my collegues, it would make a great change in our lives. Mere uttering of words do not carry any weight. Jesus spoke everything with authority. Even after two thousand years his words inspires the life of many persons. How could it be possible? Because Jesus walked the talk. Whatever he spoke he spoke from what he practiced. Therefore let us today reflect before we speak. Once words come out of our mouth it would not return back. Let us pray for the grace from the Lord that we may practice first then preach to the others.
