Today is World Mission Day. Pope Francis in his message “Together with young people, let us bring the Gospel to all” invites the young people to be a messenger of the Gospel. It means that they will become a servant who serves and not to be served. Today’s Gospel talks about this message. We are invited to learn from our Lord Jesus Christ who comes to serve and does not come to be served.
Young people can do it very well. They must also first become a friend of the Gospel: read, study, meditate about it. After this, they will bring the fruits of their spiritual meditation to the world. This is a missionary. Pope Francis in his message mentions the young people who go to the mission as a volunteer. They are the servant who serves the others through the Good News. They are a missionary.
I was very happy because the Priest in the church we concelebrate the mass mentioned me as a missionary. In Thailand, this year in particular because they celebrate the 350 years of the first proclamation.
I thanks be to God also for my first priest ordination: October 21, 2017, in Pekanbaru-Indonesia. I need your prayer.
