+ The logic of the gospel passage today is clear, and succinct: take every effort to nurture, support and
preserve the spiritual gifts that God has given you in order to navigate your
way through human life today – or- run the great risk of
losing whatever little stockpile of spiritual tools you think you have.
One of our daily goals is to
reach out for and seek the very latest upgrades and updates to our spiritual hard
drive – for the time of external conflict and divisiveness is here – and from
many input and vantage points – we call it our “daily bread” – and the Father
gives it freely to us – if and when we approach him as innocent, trusting, and
loving humble children – that we are!
With
our rock-solid spiritual connection to God and Jesus made and sealed by baptism
and confirmation – we are now fully equipped to be-with-Jesus the true Light of
the World, the light in darkness, the hope in travail, the peace in rough
times!
And the daily bread of
Eucharist is the spiritual battery boost the we need to be the brightest penny
in the change drawer! – the brightest aura in the room – the calmest point of
refuge in a sea of muck and mire of seemingly broken and injured relationships,
commitments and duties.
We are to be the SIGN OF HOPE
that anything can be resolved, rectified and renewed – so long as we have the
breath of life in us, which is coincidentally Christ life, Christ breath to be
sure.
Don’t worry! the inner secrets and pure motivations of our
thoughts, words and deeds, this day will be one day manifested for all to see –
for now, it is our task and joy to live as purely as we can a connected life, a
life plugged into the Holy Spirit, a life that can change the world – one
little spark at a time!
Yes, our light must shine in the sight of me, so that seeing our good works,
all may give praise to our Father who is in heaven!
