Wednesday of week 32 in Ordinary Time
Saint Albert the Great, Bishop, Doctor
First reading – Wisdom 6:1-11
The book of Wisdom is asking us to meditate on a theme which is very important in our life. How are we managing the power we have in our life? We all have some kind of powers over situations, decisions, or people in our life. The way we are exercising our power is very important in the eyes of God. Any power, the Word of God is saying, is a gift of God for us. So, we must behave as God wants us to behave. The power we have is not to make ourselves great but to provide for all alike. The power we have is to be exercised with the wisdom God has given us. The way we exercise our power should be in the way that we exercise them standing in front of the greatness of the Lord. Let’s reflect: Do I exercise my powers over others as a gift from God to serve them according to His wish?
