Saint Justin, Martyr
Thursday of week 8 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Ecclesiasticus 42:15-26
“As the sun in shining looks on all things, so the work of the Lord is full of his glory”. The entire creation is full of the glory of the Lord. It’s only a question of seeing it by our eyes. We must open our eyes to see the glory of the Lord. We get disappointment and we say, “where is God?”. Because we fail to see the glory of the Lord in all the things around us. Most probably we see the glory of God only in this we want to see. But the truth the Word of Gods says today is that the work of the Lord is full of His glory. There is also a reason for that. “By the words of the Lord his works come into being and all creation obeys his will”. Everything is created by the Word of the Lord. Again, “He has imposed an order on the magnificent works of his wisdom, He is from everlasting to everlasting”. So, it’s important to try to understand His wisdom in all the things around us. That is why, the Word of God say, “How desirable are all his works, how dazzling to the eye!” Let us reflect: Am I seeing the glory of God in the entire creation around me?
