"then you will begin to say,
we ate and drank with you and you taught in our streets. But he will say, I do
not know where you come from; go away from me, all you evildoers"
{Lk.13:26-27}
I express my fears for myself and
every other person who is baptized, receives the Eucharistic Jesus in the
physical appearance of bread and wine both the clergy and the lay-faithful,
preach the gospel always, enter the house of God frequently because we have the
higher propensity to end up in hell...
My belittled reason is that our
lives most often exhibit a sharp/clear contrast between what/who we claim to be
and the real lives we live by way of our attitude towards those who are placed
under us in age, position of power, less privileged, speaking out for truth in
the face of chaos.
If I am / you are among those who
hear the word of God and go ahead to do things or take decisions under the
disguise of "it does not matter", 'I did what I did or took the decisions
on a particular issue in order to please myself and not any other being'.
Those of us who use the maxim
"I do not care whose ox is gored" make sure that in the sincerity of
your heart, you are doing or saying what God said you should do or say at that
particular time or event lest we might be tending a dangerous part that seems
righteous to us and close friends.
Let us reconsider and re-evaluate
our policies, beliefs, principles, standards, models, ideals, ideologies e.t.c
whether as clergy, believers, unbelievers e.t.c while we are still alive
because there is often a pathway that seemeth right unto a man but the end
thereof leads unto destruction.
May God give us the Grace to
accept and adapt to changes that are in accord with His righteous will, the
boldness and eagerness to reject, renounce and eliminate permanently from our
lives and world those ideas, beliefs and standard that do not tarry with His
Righteousness on earth above all may he grant us the Wisdom that seats by His
Divine Throne in order for us to know the difference between these two concepts
in life. Amen.
