Saint Irenaeus, Bishop, Doctor, Martyr
Wednesday of week 12 in Ordinary Time
First reading – 2 Timothy 2:22-26
“Fasten your attention on holiness, faith, love and peace, in union with all those who call on the Lord with pure minds”. St. Paul is stressing what is important and on what we should fasten our attention. Our attention should be on holiness, faith, love and peace. This attention must be in unity with all those who call on the Lord with pure minds. So, we must try to make unity with all who call on the Lord with pure minds. Moreover, we must also avoid quarrels along with futile and silly speculations. Futile and silly speculations give rise to quarrels because it makes us to think of only ourselves. Then the unity is gone, so also is love and peace. Let’s reflect: Is our attention fastened on faith and unity or on silly and futile speculations?
