21st Week, Ordinary Time, Thursday, 25-08-2022

1 Cor 1:1-9 / Matthew 24:42-51    

Just as no one can say that he has never made a mistake, similarly no one can ever say that they had not lost focus or got distracted before.

The reality is that human beings are not machines.

We don’t run on a program or like clock-work. 

But even on that point, the fact is that machines do break down due to wear and tear and other issues.

When we profess our faith in God, we certainly want to be faithful and committed to Him with all our heart.

But there is also the human weakness, frailty and failings to reckon with.

In the gospel parable, we hear of the dishonest servant giving in to his own desires and being caught unexpectedly by his master.

But in the 1st reading, St. Paul tells us that Jesus will keep us steady and without blame.

We only need to have faith in God who is faithful to us.

Let us keep praying that we will always stay close to God and be faithful to Him, especially in times of trials and temptations
