No good deed goes unpunished. That quote I repeat all too
often at times in my life. The concern though is what we do with those feelings
we have when an act we committed in good faith has been misinterpreted and
thought wrong even sinful? Do we respond? Or do we react? The magic is in the
moment of pondering, the one moment we take before we respond. That moment of
prayerful quiet. Our antiphon is a clue in today's readings as well." If today
you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." God calls us to be open, be
prayerful, be merciful and kind, be Him. If our end desire is to bring as many
as we can to the kingdom, isn’t that what our response should be? Satan does
not even have to lift a finger if we destroy each other. “Even now says the
Lord, return to me with your whole heart, for I am gracious and merciful.” Merciful indeed.
