Tuesday of week 23 in Ordinary Time
The Most Holy Name of Mary
First reading – Colossians 2:6-15
“You must live your whole life according to the Christ you have received – Jesus the Lord; you must be rooted in him and built on him and held firm by the faith you have been taught, and full of thanksgiving”. This is the fundamental teaching of Christian life. Our life must be rooted in Jesus Christ, our life must be built on Jesus Christ, and our life must be held firm in Jesus Christ. And the life must be full of thanksgiving. This is important so that we can our freedom. Because the freedom comes from Christ who gained it for us. If we are substituting Christ with the world, we lose our freedom because the world is empty. Whereas in Christ there is fullness. St. Paul is explaining it very clearly. “In his body lives the fullness of divinity, and in him you too find your own fulfilment, in the one who is the head of every Sovereignty and Power”. In Christ we find our own fulfilment. Only in Christ we can truly find our freedom. To find Christ, we must fill our life with thanksgiving. Let’s reflect: Am I aware of the truth that only in Christ I can find my fulfilment?
