Friday of week 24 in Ordinary Time
First reading – 1 Timothy 6:2-12
“You must aim to be saintly and religious, filled with faith and love, patient and gentle”. To be saintly and religious means to be filled with faith and love, patient and gentle. Our life must not be filled with arguments or questions. But with Jesus Christ. The former comes from jealousy, contention, abuse, and wicket mistrust of one another. This will trap us into all sorts of foolish and dangerous ambitions which eventually plunge them into ruin and destruction. Whereas when our life is filled with faith and love, patient and gentle, we will be prepared to fight the good faith and win for ourselves the eternal life. Faith generates patience and love generates gentleness. Let’s reflect: am I aiming to be saintly and religious, filled with faith and love, patient and gentle?
