We
are coming towards the end of October. Soon, November will be here.
Soon, it will be Advent and then Christmas. All these things are what we
hope to see.
However, we also know that there is no guarantee
that we will be able to see the coming months or the coming
celebrations. The situation around us is unpredictable, as we do not
know what the future holds.
So what do we do? We hope, we pray, we trust, we love, and of course, we get ready.
Today's Gospel warns us to make good with our opponent before we are
dragged before the judge. This is no ordinary warning, because at stake
is our soul. In life, we spend a lot of time, energy and wealth taking
care of our bodies. Some of us bathe once or twice a day, put on
perfume, make-up, eat good fruits and food, go for regular medical and
dental checkup, etc. But how prepared are we spiritually? How prepared
is our soul? Have we made peace with the many "opponents" in our life?
Or are there hidden areas of darkness which could cause us to be "thrown
into prison... unable to get out till you have paid the very last
penny?"
