Monday of week 11 in Ordinary Time
Saint Romuald, Abbot
First reading – 2 Corinthians 6:1-10
In this reading we can see all the riches we have in our life through Jesus Christ. The richness of Christian life is well depicted in this passage. So, it starts with an important warning, “As his fellow workers, we beg you once again not to neglect the grace of God that you have received”. Christian life is very much dependent on the grace we receive. The grace of God helps us to endure any circumstances or situations in our life. This grace gives the fortitude to face the difficult situations in my life. This fortitude is helped by our purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness; by a spirit of holiness, by a love free from affectation; by the word of truth and by the power of God. This is our strength in our life. These are our resources. Each our contribution is strengthened by purity, knowledge, patience, and kindness. The grace produces these gifts. Let’s reflect: Am I letting the grace of God be strengthened by our patience and kindness.
