Today is Thursday in the Twenty-Eighth Week of Ordinary Time.
God’s righteousness exists beyond the control of man, beyond the understanding of man. God’s righteousness begins in the lyrical language of the prophets, in the pristine language of the oracles. Jesus Christ embodied righteousness, Jesus Christ encouraged his disciples, his followers to seek righteousness. The righteousness of Jesus Christ signals the beauty of faith, the beauty of trust, the bounty of God’s love, God’s patience, God’s mercy.
Righteousness is an expression of obedience, is an expression of supreme faithfulness, is an expression of supreme trustfulness, is an expression of beauty, is an expression of bounty.
God encourages each Christian to seek that which is righteous and only that which is righteous, to love that which is righteous and only that which is righteous, and to obey that which is righteous and only that which is righteous.
The principle of faith rests quietly with the request to be righteous.
Christians have examples of righteous deeds, Christians can choose righteousness as a manner of living, as a manner of becoming closer to God.
