Brothers and Sisters today's Gospel Reading is a reminder that "Actions speak louder than words!"
It's a reminder for us as Christians that we act on the Lords will in our daily lives. Not only Sundays or when we feel like it. No!! Every day that passes by we should be asking the Lord for his will to be done in our lives so that we may act upon it.
Just because we are practicing Christians doesn't mean we are in an untouchable position. Ask yourself, Do I pray daily? Do I show mercy the other 6 days of the week? Do I practise what I preach?
Probably, after some honest reflection, we would have to admit that we are not really in a position to sit in judgment on others. Given the gifts and graces we have received as Christians, we may not be doing very well compared with those who have never enjoyed the support of a Christian faith and a Christian environment. As Christmas approaches, let us be followers of the Lord in deeds as well as words.
