Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Religious
Friday of week 32 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Wisdom 13:1-9
Everything around us must lead us to the real Artificer. This is very important. Otherwise, we will remain half the way with all what we have. Whatever impresses us, whatever charms us, must lead to the Author of that beauty who is the Creator. The grandeur and beauty of the creatures contemplate the Author. So, whenever we are before anything grand and beautiful, our eyes must towards the Creator who created these. When we stuck with the grandeur or beauty without moving towards the Creator, we are blocked and reduced to this level, instead of moving to the realm of the Creator. The choice is ours always. Whether you want to be with the Creator or with the creatures. If we chose the former, our life will be tied around this limited space. If we chose the latter, our life will be freed to be in eternity. Let’s reflect: Am I able to be free from the things I like towards the Author of these things?
