ALL
THE PAGANS WILL BE BLESSED
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading ”God said to Abraham, ‘In
you all the nations will be blessed.’” Galatians 3:7-14)
Reflection. It is rare for one of us to
make life choices before we are out of our teens. Paul calls this early part of our life “the
law”. It is true for each of us and true for humanity. People – and the Jews were representative- go
through life with a code of rules, disobedience to which carried expternal
sanxcions.. Paul now in his letter to
the Galations explainsd what Jesus did for us in terms of our growing up,
making choices, choices that bring freedom, maturity and happiness. Pope Francis calls it the “Joy of the Gospel”
– as distinct from the fear of the law..
Our daily readings constantly call us to make a choice for the gospel over
and over again until it becomes part of us and then true freedom and happiness
is ours.
Prayer. Lord, help us to choose the
gospel as our way to freedom. Amen.
