LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES
Life is all about the choices we make is the crux of all the readings of the day. The second reading says that we are God’s choice: foreknown, predestined, called and justified for glorification. The glorification depends on the choice we make. In the first reading King Solomon chose wisdom and; God glorified him to the extent that there had been none before or after, like the wise King Solomon. In the Gospel passage a man after finding the treasure in the field, sells all that he had so as to possess the treasure. Similarly the merchant on discovering the priceless pearl sells all things to buy the pearl.
In our ordinary walk of life as followers of the Lord, are called to inflate our Christian identity at all times and by all means. We may have to suffer but that suffering worth to fetch us the glorification after our life here on the earth. We would be separated like the fish caught in the net in the Gospel reading for an inheritance with Lord, the glorification, Choose God, Choose glorification to which Christ Jesus has called us.
