the culture of refusal... Mt 21.28-32

A) All Christians are asked, challenged to fulfil the will of God,
to participate with the fullness of Life, to make the Kingdom of God a priority...
and all Sacraments are based upon the promise: Yes I try to fulfill the will of God.
[and oh wonder: it is supposed everybody knows the will of God !]

B) The Tradition, the Bible, the Church, the Prophets...  the imagination, the parents...  and many many people tell us exactly "what is the will of God".
All Religions of the world, all Christian Bishops and most Theologians (like in the
Gospel of today) they know the will of God and they promise to fulfil this will
(although accepting to be sometimes sinners).

C) Jesus likes to tell them: You are the second Son of the Father:
You give empty promises.. but you don't do the will of God
the will of God is totally something-else...
[and much worse: you do not know that you don't do the will of God; you are blind!]

D) But oh Wonder: In the Ev of today: Jesus and all the Bishops are of the same
opinion: the first Son is the right one
             Why are we not going to do what the first Son has done ???
E) Look at his accepted behaviour:
FIRST: He refuses to do the will of God !
LATER: He discovers - it's not going by this way...
ThIRD:  He is busy to elaborate the will of God and
FORTH: He decides to do the recognized will of God.

F) In 2014 it's very difficult NOT to know the will of God -
there is too much religious conviction and we need the stabilizing structure.

G) But what we may do is: FIRST: don't be sure any more !
Bring in your doubts : Q: do you know / do the will of God ? A: I don't know !
Sec: start again to ask after the will of God ! Sit together:
make a conference, a research...  Third: never be sure any more...
Forth: take the risk! act upon your best conscience - there is no other way.
