SATURDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2021
Luke 16, 9-15:
“He who is trustworthy in what is ordinary is trustworthy also in what is important; he who is not honest in what is ordinary is not honest either in what is important”.
We sometimes think of heroes as people who perform great deeds. If this were so, few people could be awarded the title of heroism.
We would miss countless heroic people who in the hidden and the small are making their lives a continuous act of heroism and faithfulness:
× mothers who strive to bring up their children,
× people who, day after day, and in the midst of multiple occupations, take care of a sick family member,
× volunteers in various organisations, NGOs and many other institutions who give to others precisely the time they do not have to spare.
× Catechists, Youth Leaders and so many other people who are faithful on a daily basis in a small way but do great wonders for others….
It is all these men and women who have discovered that true service and true fidelity to God and to others are in these apparently small things.
They are the ones who constantly remind us and encourage us to live the beautiful adventure of heroism.
Be a hero today and every day!
Good day.
