Isaiah 6:1-8 / Matthew 10:24-33
There is this quote from St. John Vianney: Here is a rule for everyday life – do not do anything which you cannot offer to God.
It is a rule that is clear and simple enough to follow.
But it is also a rule that is difficult to keep.
To do something that is pleasing to God requires a strong faith and love for God.
But when we do something that is wrong and not pleasing to God, certainly we want to hide it.
We can hide it from others, but we certainly cannot hide it from God.
As Jesus said in the gospel : For everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear.
So, sooner or later, everything we do, whether in the light or in the dark, will be made known.
Since God sees everything we do, then let us always live in the light and do what is loving.
Let us do what always gives glory to God and we will also inherit a blessing.
