Hello! and happy good Thursday to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" today:
THE GOOD NEWS (02 June 2016)
"Labor like a good soldier of CHRIST JESUS. No soldier gets involved in civilian trade; the soldier's aim is to please his commanding officer. No athlete is crowned unless he competes according to the rules. And again, the farmer who tills the land is the first to enjoy the fruits of the harvest. Think over what I am telling you; the LORD will give you understanding in everything." -2 Timothy 2:3-7
(No soldier gets involved. It happened at times that Paul earned his living while preaching [2 Corinthians 11:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:7] but now here the letter speaks for those who waste their time in working for a living when the community has the duty of seeing to their needs. For a minister of the Church, work can be a way of placing oneself in the world and in the midst of people; but it could also be a way of escaping the difficulties and humiliations of every apostolic task.)
