WEEKLY READINGS

Meditations . . .

“Before man are life and death, . . . whichever he

chooses shall be given him.” (Sirach 15:17)

Free will. It’s God’s greatest gift to us, and it’s also our

riskiest characteristic. Free will has enabled us to decide

for ourselves what kind of people we will be. It has en-

abled us to create music and art, to build cities and roads,

to marry and have children. It has also enabled us to de-

stroy instead of create, to hurt and betray instead of heal

and build up. Most important, it’s through our free will

that we decide whether to follow Jesus or our own

thoughts and desires. Sirach seems keenly aware of how much of a two-

edged sword our free will can be. Each of us, he says, is

free to choose between “fire and water, . . . life and

death, good and evil” (Sirach 15:16, 17). And God will

respect whatever we choose. Of course, our heavenly Father longs for us to choose

life in him, but he will never force himself on us. He is

not like the petty gods dreamed up by the pagans, who

use threats and manipulation to keep their people in line. God also knows that free will has consequences. And

so Sirach teaches, “Whichever he chooses shall be given

him” (Sirach 15:17). While God honors our choices, he

also respects the results those choices bring. In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a real-life illustration:

“Whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to

judgment” (Matthew 5:22). If you choose to nurture an-

ger, resentment, and condemnation, don’t be surprised if

other people begin treating you in the same way. But if

you build an environment of trust and respect, that’s

what you will receive. So choose life today. Use this awesome gift of your

free will to choose gentleness, patience, and all the other

fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Above all, choose

Jesus. Welcome him into your life, and let his love sof-

ten your heart. It’s the best choice you could ever make.

“Jesus, help me to choose you in every situation today.”
