THY WILL BE DONE
The Gospel passage is about the manifesto of Jesus. Filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus reads out the Prophesy of Prophet Isaiah that was fulfilled in him: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to those who are oppressed, to proclaim the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour”. Jesus had the clarity of the vision of his mission. This was because he was constantly in connect with his Father and therefore was solely concerned about the purpose of the salvation of humankind.
Each of us are marvelous masterpiece of God and God has meticulous planning for each of us: the purpose of our existence here on earth. Like Jesus, only if we are in constant connect with the Father Almighty, can we discover the purpose of our life. We cannot have an ‘any how’ living. Our lives become meaningful only when we conduct our life according to the will of God for us. This might hinder or even shatter our own dreams, desires, hopes and aspirations still, when we allow God’s plan to take over our lives, we will have the joy of purposeful living come what may. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Let your will be done O Lord”.
