CONVERT BY PATIENT

Luke 13: 1-9

When entering our Thai school in Payatai, I try to greet the guard in the gate. Every day I make like this not only for him but also for other people like in the convent of the sisters, in the station metal detector. Usually, in these latter two places, I received a good response. But, in the school, in the beginning, was not so good. I never see this guard smiles, always very serious. I try to continue my regards for him every day. About one or two weeks after, finally I see him in the new look, he smiles at us. I said, finally I convert this person. This is just a little story about our life.

In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to change our lives. Sometimes we need to change from bad things to good things, from good things to more good things. Like in the Gospel we are invited to cut the bad things that don’t produce good things. Don’t forget and don’t fear to cut it from our daily life. Converting or changing one style to other style is not easy. Even for us. Today’s Gospel gives us hope that we have time to make it. Jesus gives the second occasion to change our lives. If we want we can try, Jesus is waiting for us. We really give thanks to Him because of this. I am very happy with our faith. In other religion maybe doesn’t have this possibility to convert, to make a little or big change. 

Let us pay and ask the Help of Jesus so that our heart is open to conversion.
