Nothing  is Hidden Under the Sun by Fr. Abu

Today’s readings contain a lot of lessons for us.

1. The need for Proper Upbringing of our Children.

Consider the role Moses’ sister played in our first reading today.

She stood at a distance watching the child float on the water and the moment she noticed Pharoah’s daughter had taken the child, she stepped in immediately.

The little girl succeeding in convincing a woman probably twice her age about what to do with the child.

She must have been a very sharp girl who knows how to go for errands.

Her plan with her Mum succeeded. Moses would now be brought up by his own mother pretending to be a nurse.

2. Nothing is hidden Under the Sun

When Moses grew up, he couldn’t stand oppression against his people so he killed an Egyptian.

While doing this, he thought nobody would see him.

But the following day, he got to understand that his so called top secret wasn’t Hidden at all.

The fact that people are not watching you does not mean God himself is not taking note. Am I proud of my secrets?

3. Miracles do not often lead to repentance

We have miracle centres everywhere.

Churches even advertise Miracles on radio and television.

Am I like the people Chorazin and Bethsaida?

Do simply entertain myself with miracles only to go back home and continue living in sin?

Let us pray: Lord Jesus, may my love for you be greater than my love for this world.
Amen!

Be Happy.
Live Positive.
Have Faith.
It is well with you.
God bless you. (Tuesday of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time.
