Monday of week 10 in Ordinary Time
First reading – 2 Corinthians 1:1-7
the God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our sorrows, so that we can offer others, in their sorrows, the consolation that we have received from God ourselves”. In this verse, we can see how the relationship of God to us is and what does it mean. God is God of all consolation, who comforts us in all our sorrows. God is with us in all our sorrows. He is gentle with us in all difficult situations in our life. This is beautiful. But this relationship does not stop there. The Word of God says, this love of God the Father has a purpose. The purpose is that we can offer others, in their sorrows, the consolation that we have received from God. We are called to offer others the consolation which we receive. The consolation which we receive from God should flow through us towards others. It cannot stop at us. Let’s reflect: How much am I sharing the consolation which I receive from God the Father with others?
