Friday of week 4 in Ordinary Time, 2

How do we wish to be remembered?

Mark 6:14-29


If we are to imagine a time when our loved ones, family and friends, would give a eulogy to us, what do you think would it be?

David in the Old Testament was presented with a litany of accomplishments.  In the New Testament, a lot of characters were mentioned, but their names are passed on in infamy.  Again, how do we want to be remembered?

We want to be remembered for our good deeds.  But more than than, we would want to be remembered as humble disciples of Jesus and not as hard-headed Christians who define salvation according to what we want and not what God wants.  And third, that we are used totally by the Lord that all fruitfulness of life is because of the direct action of God in our lives and people experienced heaven in the midst because we allowed it to happen.

Good deeds may be good; but they are not enough.  Unless we succumb to be instruments and servants of the Lord, all actions and accomplishments would be in vain and heaven would be a far-away destiny.
