With what kind of power are you doing all of this?

ADVENT LANTERN (daily meditations),

The thoughts of Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Tamás József
With what kind of power are you doing all of this? – sounded the question asked by the Great Priests and the Folks Sages from Jesus, when he was teaching in the temple of Jerusalem. Because their intention was not honest, the answer itself was another question, which also had the role to demask them. With what kind of power do I do, what I do? What is leading me in my actions, what is the pushing force behind my deeds? I should ask myself these questions. It is not the same, what and why I do what I do. My deeds receive value when I do them for God's glory. The nicest feature of our preparation for Christmas, is when we do it according to this short praise: “For you Jesus”.
