The Oil and Wine of Your Life

Friday, July 9, 2021

The Good Samaritan found a man beaten and lying in the street. He treated his wounds with oil and wine. But have you ever wondered why he was carrying around oil and wine? Oil and wine are symbols of the Spirit. Thus we need to have a heart that not only has enough, but that overflows with more than enough. We were not put on Earth to just survive. We shouldn't go through life with a spirit of neediness. Our mission here is to bless. The Good Samaritan was also willing to be interrupted from his normal routine. He was ready with his oil and wine to give and bless. So go out filled with the Spirit so that you can overflow to those who are in need. Have the Gospel on your lips, ready to share with the stranger, the waiter, that cashier, or whomever. Prepare yourself to bless, and carry out your divine mission today. Get the oil and wine of the Spirit ready, and you will be as blessed as the Good Samaritan.
