Saint John Mary Vianney, Priest
Friday of week 17 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Ezekiel 3:17-21
“If, however, you warn the upright man not to sin and he abstains from sinning, he shall live, thanks to your warning, and you too will have saved your life”. God is giving us the task of taking care of others. The Word of God must be transmitted to others so that they can keep it. We must transmit the Word of God in His name The Lord says, “Whenever you hear a word from me, warn them in my Name”. So, first we must listen to God to hear what He is saying and then we must transmit to others. Because we all have the vocation of a sentry to the House of Israel. We have the vocation of being a guard of the other. We must take care of the other. By taking care of the other we can also save ourselves. The best way of taking care of the other is being testimony to the Word of God which we listen. Let’s reflect: Am I a sentry to the People of God by being a testimony to the Word of God?
