8TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME REFLECTION
Masters own the slaves and demand obedience and loyalty from them. They determine
how things are to be done in the life of their slaves. A good slave will always do his
master's bidding and will go to any length please him. Our relationships with people and
things have become like that of the master and the slave. However, we have grown to
manipulate and split our loyalty to more than one master. We tend to have political,
cultural, social, spiritual, economic, material and ubiquitous masters depending on our
need and ambition. "Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign
masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as
well as to determine what we shall do. Jeremy Bentham. We complain that the Lord has
abandoned and forgotten us but we are the ones who abandoned Him and pledge our
loyalty to someone or something else. A true and faithful disciple will never be shaken
by the winds of distractions and he will never trade his master for something or
somebody else. We find among us 'small masters' we adore and respect irrespective of
their bad influences. "Good masters teach good doctrine, but that taught by evil masters
is wholly evil" - St. Basil. Who do you look up to in life and what is his or her influence
over you?
Happy Sunday!!
