Reflection by Matthew Kelly of the Dynamic Catholic Institute
When making a decision, th Native American people used to ask themselves how their decision today would affect their people seven generations from now. One hundred years from now, none of us will be here. Let us always remember that in the whole scheme of things, the Church is on loan to us for a very brief time. And yet in that brief time we determine the Church our children & grandchildren will inherit. In this way, God has appointed us to take care of the vineyard—the Church. This is a responsibility we should take seriously. In Matthew's Gospel (Mt., 21:33-41) we are given a vision of what happens when servants are overcome with pride & arrogance.
