We are Fashioned in Freedom
24th June 2024
12th Week Ordinary Time
Monday
Isa 49:1-6
Meditation
Is
it possible that we are fashioned in the mother's womb? Is it possible that we are destined for good
or bad while in the mother's womb? Being
formed in the mother's womb as a human person, spiritual person and destination
for good takes place in the mother's womb. The destination of the human person
is not negativity but the freedom of the child of God. No mother wishes to have
a child who would become evil.
All
mothers long and dream
that their child will be a great king/queen and hero/heroin, and even they
would be great men/women of God. In like manner, the wish of God for a child is
for a bright future with a lot of possibilities of life. It was something
similar in the case of the birth of St John the Baptist. Mary was present at
the birth of St John Baptist, and she cared for him initial days long with St
Elizabeth. John the Baptist was destined to be the greatest Prophet. His birth
is the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era in Jesus.
Are
we aware God created us
with the freedom to be his child?
