WEEKLY MEDITATION

In today's gospel Matthew speaks of the ultimate choice that confronts each of us - to be obedient to God, or to walk away from Him.  He discloses this choice based upon the parable of two sons - one who initially refuses to be obedient, but upon further reflection decides to be so; the other, who consents by word to be obedient but never practices it.
The same God of Ezekiel, Paul, and Matthew is one who frowns on hypocrisy. He is a God who calls us back to Him B even when we have individually or as a nation been disobedient. He calls us back to accept a lifestyle that produces hope, care, love, and nurturing in the lives of our fellow men. Our obedience to His will actually allows our community to be blessed by the correct actions of its members. In essence, to love God is to favor His people with the care that He extends through us to them and invariably transforms ourselves.
