The two brothers
in this reading reflect upon our relationship with God. Sometimes we are the
first son and we tell God, I will not do this or that, but in the end we do it either
out of a sense of duty or love. Other times we are the second son and we tell
God, Yes, sir, but in the end we let our fears or selfishness stand in the way
of doing what we know is right. What a marvelous grace it is to be able to
answer Yes, sir to the Lord and do what God wills us to do.
Which of these
two brothers are we most like? How often do we allow God to lead us where we do
not want to go, but need to be? What can we do to make our Yes, sir mean yes?
O Lord, help us
to make our lives living Yes’s to your Divine Will.
Amen.
