Sometimes behind it
all we are neutral to this information, or, sometimes it disturbs us, and
sometimes it changes our life but more so it changes the life of the nation.
Sometimes
we hear sensational religious information.
Nowadays we
have heard many comments about the resignation of Pope Benedict the XVl. It was
a sensational story for the whole world. How many comments have we heard as to
why? And what will be the result of all this?
We can hear of
sensationalism of a miracle which can more or less deepen our faith
and our spiritual life but, we must know that authentic religious life
is a normal everyday relationship with God.
Religious life
must be like our regular daily life in our families and not an extra
ordinary phenomenon or reality.
If we
are thirsty for these extra ordinary phenomena why do we not see, just once
in our life the most important miracle that we are a child of God.
He is our Father
and He is constantly ready to forgive our sins and our unfaithfulness. Is
it not sensational information especially in our world? Where there is a
lot of hatred and a general lack of agreement.
Lent is the perfect
time for us to build a stronger bond with Him.
We need an
essential change in our lives, as we hear in today's gospel.
God assigns for
everyone appropriate tasks. He does not just plant us in His vineyard, (in our
world), or just give us talents and abilities, (our gifts), but He also carries
us and continually surrounds us with His grace.
Our task is to
completely trust in God and bear the fruits. If in this moment we do not
produce any fruits, we have another chance to repent.
We must remember
that God is patient and merciful, but during our life when it is time for the
harvest we must give Him our good fruits.
This is sensational information
for us and we must start to think of the good fruits that we already have.
How does it taste our fruits our life bitter or sweet and full of good
ingredients?
