Be God's joy to others

Tuesday of week 24 in Ordinary Time, I

Luke 7:11-17

A good servant is a joy to others.

This is the mark of a true Christian.  Everywhere he goes, whatever he does, he is a joy to the Lord and to others.

Paul's letter to Timothy narrated the various qualities of a good leader and deacon.  They should be of impeccable character, a model of family life, and an example to the community.

The Christian should also have the same qualities - godly, caring, and sharing.  He or she should be a joy to others and much more to the Lord.

In the gospel, Jesus returned the boy's life back to the mother.  He must have known that the son is the only life of the widow.  And now that he's gone, who would take care of the mother?  Jesus felt strongly for the mother.  He is that loving son who gives joy to the mother.  He is the loving Lord who takes care of us.

Let us imitate Jesus and devote all of ourselves to be a source of joy to others and to Him.
