2 Corinthians 1:18-22. Lord, let your face shine on me – Ps 118(119):129-133, 135. Matthew 5:13-16.
We say yes
In today’s Reading from Paul to the Corinthians, Paul talks about how he and Silas and Timothy have been spreading the story of Christ. He considers the imperative of saying yes to Jesus, living a life of yes in Christ. When we think about our daily lives, each day we are faced with lots of decisions; most are fairly minor, some middling, some more serious, and occasionally there are some of great urgency and importance. For the big decisions or those of existential consequence, we have to decide whether we say yes or no, depending on a multitude of other considerations.
With our faith lives, we say yes to Jesus Christ decisively. We know our discipleship can be tested, but when we say yes to him who loves us we are freed. We only have to look at Mary’s resounding yes, which has shaped the world when she accepted Gabriel’s words about her bearing the Son of God. We are the yes people of the Church, alive to the incarnation and what is to come.
