MONDAY 15TH WEEK IN
ORDINARY TIME YEAR B.
1ST READING: ISAIAH
1:10-17
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 10:34-11:1
THEME: CHOOSE GOD AND LEAVE EVIL.
The first reading is seriously
warning us that no matter the type of prayer, fasting and every other religious
thing we do without clean heart and clean hands, he the Lord will not listen
to us.
Gospel tells us what Jesus told
his disciples who were thinking that Jesus will give the world peace despite
their sins.
If we must see God, if our prayers
must be answered, we must choose to follow God. Condition for our prayer to be
answered is to follow God and by following God we must be at war with
worldly things. When Jesus talked about division he has brought. He talked about
division from choosing God and leaving evil. Leaving our evil ways of life and
following the righteous way of God no matter what it may cost us. It may cost
us our pleasure, or our comfort zones, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters
but it is the best way to follow. Let us today choose the way of life and leave
the way of death by choosing God and leaving the devil. Thanks.
