The Deep End/ Made for life 

One venomous description of a gossip I came across recently was : someone who won’t tell a lie if the truth can do more damage. Yet I suspect that today’s First Reading ( Wis 1:13-15, 2:23-24) refers to that type of thing in some way when it tells us that God did not make death and does not delight in the death of the living (v.13). Our God is the one who creates and loves life - is the one who sends his Son so that we may have life in its fullness (John 10:10). Realising that we are made in God’s image, we too should not ‘make death’ nor delight in the death of anyone - not just their physical death, but in anything that diminishes the quality of life.

Every day we have life and death in our hands, in a manner of speaking. We can raise up, or bring down. We can praise, or criticise. We can work with, or plot against. We can bring joy, or instil fear. We can have people love us, or hate us. The choice is ours.

Temperament has a lot to do with this, but not everything. Much depends on our awareness and our generosity. Somebody once remarked that since we have to look someway it might as well be happy. So too, since we have to speak someway it might as well be positively.

There is so much gloom and doom around at times, you’d wonder if we really realise in whose image and likeness we’re made: the God of life and creativity.
