Wednesday of week 10 in Ordinary Time
First reading – 2 Corinthians 3:4-1
“all our qualifications come from God”. This is very important to remember in our daily life. We would like to qualify ourselves, as we want and as we would wish. But the Word of God says that all qualifications come from God. So, we cannot qualify ourselves but accept the qualification that comes from God. We would also like to qualify those around ourselves. But again, the Word of God say that all qualifications come from God. So, we are not in a grade to qualify others. We are not in a grade to judge others. Then St. Paul is also saying how is the qualification from God. The qualification from God is based on Spirit which gives life and not based on written letters that bring death. The Spirit of God which gives life always tries to see light and life. The letters that bring death tries to bring darkness and death. We must submit ourselves to Spirit so that we always see life and light. Let’s reflect: Am I ready to qualify myself and others in the light of the Spirit which brings life?
