Good morning everyone,
Today, the prophet Micah presents us with words of wisdom that can prove to be very demanding in many different situations, yet these words are also meant to help us keep things in perspective. Micah says: The Lord asks only this of you: live justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with your God (Mi 6:4).
Last evening (Sunday), in the evening hours, a lone gunman began firing bullets along a busy section of Danforth Avenue in Toronto's Greek village. One woman is dead and many others are injured. Police are urging people to remain calm while they conduct their investigation. Live justly.
Parents know only too well how difficult it can be to maintain perspective as they try their very best - sometimes going to heroic heights - to raise their children, yet in despite the situations that we sometimes find ourselves in - experiences that seem to stretch us well beyond our limits - we must constantly remember that we are called to love tenderly at all times.
Today, let us seek to walk humbly with God. Humility can be a difficult disposition to maintain, but when we remember our own need for divine assistance, we can cultivate a much more compassionate approach to life and our interactions with others have the potential to bear abundant fruit.
Have a great day.
