“Do you want us to go and pull
the weeds?”(Mt 13:28)
See the sincerity of those
workers! They really love their master and his hard work without fail. They
do believe that their master’s sorrow is
their sorrow itself. I know for sure that you will have certainly memoirs of
like minded these people in your olden days. They were really considered as the
members of the family of the landowner. And they were also very happy to be
considered like that. Of anything and everything they enjoyed a share in that
house. Thank God!... On the other hand, contemporary people also may repeat the
letters as in the gospel passage, but the spirit of those letters may not be
the same. We don’t find nowadays a real relationship between the owner and the
workers. Today people may seem to appear that they are very enthusiastic and
worried about their master and others. And also they are ready to go to any
extent to fight against evil, immorality, corruption, injustice etc., provided
that they are properly treated. It may not be out of love for their master or
his cause. The good relationship between the master and the servant, the
employer and the employee, the teacher and the student has become mechanical or
artificial, not genuine. Today let us pray in a special manner to God the
father that we may grow in faithfulness and fidelity each day in our
relationships and give genuine witness to you. Amen!
