My Reflections:
In our first reading the Lord appeared to
Solomon in a dream and said: "Ask something of me and I will give it to
you." Solomon did not ask for any material things; he instead asked for an
understanding heart to judge the people and to distinguish right from wrong. Why
did Solomon ask for this wisdom instead of temporary things?
Because the most important things in this
world are not those that are seen or perceive by our worldly senses. The most
important things are those that are felt by our hearts and minds. It doesn’t
matter anymore if we are not rich if we don’t have power. It’s enough that we
are able to guide, nurture and mentor those who are in our sphere of influence.
The legacy that lasts is not the structures
that we’ve built but the hearts that we've touched and converted.
If the Lord will give us the same opportunity
what will we ask from Him?
