Gen: 44: 18-21, 23b-29,45:1-5                                                                                  Mt 10: 7-15

The dream of the greatest man of our generation was to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us. But as long as there are tears, our work will not be over.

Dear Fathers and Brothers the liturgy of the day invites us to understand the purpose for which you and I are created.

                  

 The first reading of the day reminds us of the tragic story of Joseph, that turns out to be a blessing to the nations. Making meaning out of his present, Joseph believes that all that happened was part of the plan of God, to use him as an instrument to preserve life. God made use of the breakdown Joseph had for the good of the people.

Readings :  Is 55, 10-11

Mt 6, 7-15

Human life is often termed as a journey towards meaning or to the divine. Human restless hearts long to rest in the one in whom they are totally at home. I believe that we are on a journey to the Promised One with a promise in our hearts. This journey marked by a gradual movement from an impersonal to a personal and an intimate relationship with the promised one.  The promise in our hearts helps us to look at the stars even amidst the despairs of life.
