NEED TO BE HEALED
Luke 6: 6-11

I had the bad attitude or bad experience when I was in the pastoral year in Indonesia. I was sent to the formation house. There, I lived with the fathers and the young brothers. I can say that I was with them, the brothers, for 24 hours. So, I know very well the habit of each of them. Some like to go out every afternoon to find the internet point, some like to smoke on the third floor of our house, some like to play games in the computer room even until midnight.

My problem was this; when I don’t like by the habit of one brother, I always observe him with the bad view. I don't like the brothers who always go out every afternoon to find the internet point. When one brother of this group come to me to ask permission, I immediately have an impression, that this brother wants to find the internet point. In fact, not always like this. Sometimes he asks permission to buy the book or any kind of his needs.

I think that the attitude of the Scribes and Pharisees in today’s gospel almost the same with mine. They can not see the good things that Jesus makes for many people. Jesus healed many people but they continue to see the reason to accuse Him. This is a kind of blindness that they have, that I have, that we have. They and we focus on bad things so that we can not see the good things. All things that Jesus does are bad things.

Even for me was like this. This kind of blindness can not help us to increase our relationship with God, the others, ourselves, and also can not help us to make our community as a good place to cultivate our vocation. I think that it is better to ask the help of our Lord Jesus Christ so that our heart and our eyes are opened to see the good things and not the bad things that our friends make. We need also the healing of Jesus. So, not only this man but all of us need to be healed by Jesus.
