23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
First reading – Ezekiel 33:7-9
“Son of man, I have appointed you as sentry to the House of Israel”. This is the vocation of each one of us. To be the sentry for the other person as appointed by the Lord. We all want to be the sentry of the other person, to control the other person, to make boundaries for the other person, to decide for the other person, to dictate what the other person. But this is being a sentry appointed not by the Lord. This is being a sentry as appointed by my selfishness. We are called to be the sentry appointed by the Lord, who loves each one of us with an unconditional love. It’s important to be the sentry appointed by the Lord. Let’s reflect: Am I a sentry to others as appointed by the Lord or am I a sentry appointed by my selfishness?
