Earn the Food We Eat.
All the birds and animals
in the world earn their food by searching for it. They do not store food. The toil
for it to fill themselves. In the world, some human beings enjoy lot of good things without even working for them. It is not a surprise that there are people in this world who eat without work. Those who live
without basic work for the welfare of others are harmful to society. Let everyone
do some work or the other for their own good and the good of others.
It is not below one’s dignity to earn one’s food and contribute to the welfare of others. All are not working on the farm to produce food. Different people do different types of work to make life in the world go on smoothly. Let everyone contribute to the well-being of society in the best way possible. Idleness is the workshop of the devil. The devil fears the hardworking people. Let one think before eating what good one has done and thank God for the food that is set.
Do we work to build the
Kingdom of God?
St Augustine (Mem)
Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb
