Titus 2:1-8, 11-14

My Love, Beloved of my soul,

St. Paul, speaking to Titus gives him sound advise as to how the people of God are required to conduct themselves. While some of it may sound foreign to our ears, nevertheless, much of what he says is relevant and applies to us as well. 

It is always and in any age right that and good that we do not live lives that are a contradiction to our faith. Old men ought not to make fools of themselves by forgetting that the folly of youth is best left to youth. They are called to be exemplary witnesses to the faith. Similarly, older women should refrain from being gossips or addicted to drink. Older women too can be foolish and ridiculous in assiduously aping the young. Instead, they are called to be role models setting a good example by being faithful to their vocation.

Young people also must live holy lives. Lives of self-control, obedient and respectful to those in authority. As Christians, our lives must be a powerful witness to those around us that we are people of God and our lives must shine with Your Light in a world getting increasingly dark with sin.

We are called to live holy lives, pure in all things, only then can we be truly happy as we live in peace and harmony with one another.
