The Two Sides of the coin...

5th Sunday Ord. Time - Year B.

The Two Sides of the coin...

We talk of the two sides of a coin; so does life. On one side, life is day-to-day drudgery, full of failed dreams and shattered hopes. On the other side, life contains moments of joy, peace and sense of purpose. This Sunday's readings examine both sides of the coin, but leave us with no doubt about upon which side to base our lives. The first reading from Job touches unerringly upon every phase of life's dark side. The other two readings look at the other side of the coin. In basing our lives on Christ, our pain, taken in faith, becomes part of our journey. Our sorrow sees a new day dawning. How is your experience of failure like what Job went through? How do you handle such situations in life?
