Theology of Mirror
Introduction
- A puzzle - what is that thing, which we use often in our daily life, that can be seen in the public places and in our bags, and we do not pay for it’s use? – the mirror.
- Mirror is a part of majority of us, especially of young people.
- The story of small child – after play in the field returning to her home – everybody were laughing at her – even the mother – looked at the mirror – she had mud on her face in the shape of mustache and beard.
- Today’s gospel tells us to be a mirror to our brethren.
Content
- There are different mirrors that we use in our life – eg; Word of God, Commandments, rules and regulations, biography of saints etc. All these materials help us to see who we are and our limitations.
- We are call to be mirrors to others.
- Our eyes are fixed in our face in such a way that we see other’s face more than we see ours. Therefore others know our weaknesses better than us. Eg; husband knows the weakness of the wife more than the wife and vice versa.
- When we correct listen to these things – do it in private and with respect, do it with gentleness and patience, and do it with love.
- Sometimes we become small broadcasting channels instead of mirrors with regards to others weaknesses. We tell all others except that person.
Conclusion
- Jesus has called our community to a perfect community
- Our model is of the triune god
- Let us grow towards that model by helping each other.
