Thursday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time
Two days ago, it was weeds, today it’s bad fish. What is Jesus trying to tell us? It’s simple: God will have to make a decision about us when we are before him on the last day. Clearly, by our readings, we know that there will be good and bad before him. I think that for each of us, our prayer is that he sees the good in us. But, if there is any doubt of that in your mind, and if you think and feel, that there is some bad, brothers and sisters, now is the time to make things right. Correct the wrongs and seek forgiveness. This is what God wants from us. He wants each of us to go before Him and say, “Lord I am weak, I’m a weed, I’m a bad fish. I’m in need of your love and mercy. Please make me new and good again.”
