Wednesday of week 7 in Ordinary Time
Saint Rita of Cascia
Gospel – Mark 9:38-40
“You must not stop him:” This is a temptation in our life to stop others because they are not conforming to us. Our way of doing is not the model that everyone must follow. Others can follow Jesus Christ in the way they want. The plan of God is bigger than our way of doing things. We cannot confine the plan of God to us. Each one of us, has a plan of God. We must respect that and love that plan of God. And we must not be adamant that God must work according to my plan. God can work out His plan in hundred different ways. For us, what is important is to be close to Jesus. If we are close to Jesus, we will be able to give space for each person around us. Let’s reflect: Do I give more importance to follow Jesus Christ or how others follow Jesus Christ?
