28th Week, Ordinary Time, Thursday, 19-10-2023

Romans 3:21-30 / Luke 11:47-54     

The 2000-year history of the Church has many things to tell us.

Of course, there are the bright and dark periods.

There are also saints and scandals.

There are also moments when the Church stood as one in unity.

But also, there are times when the Church is divided in heresy.

As the wheels of time roll on and on, every age and every generation have their moments that are now recorded in history.

The Church of today stands in that moment of time where history is in the making.

What will this generation be accountable for, and will we be proud of it?

In the gospel, Jesus warned the generation of His time that they will have to answer and be accountable for the things they have done.

That warning is also for us and for our generation, as we will be answerable and accountable to what we hand over to the next generation.

May we teach the next generation how to walk in the ways of the Lord and be faithful to His teachings.

Then we will know how to answer and to be accountable to God and to the next generation.
