I AM WITH YOU

Luke 12: 39-48

I took breakfast with the priest in the convent this morning. I went there to say the Mass in Thai. Today (Oct 23) in Thailand is a holiday so there were few people in the church. During the breakfast, we talked more about the Thai language. I like one comment father said to me, “I hope you learn Thai very fast so that you can preside the Mass soon. But, don’t worry, I am with you, we are with you to support your study.” I am very happy to listen to it. One is a courage, other is a support. It gives me a new spirit in my studying.

Today’s Gospel talks about the vigilant. We are called to become a vigilante. But, our job is not only about waiting for Jesus’ coming. If we still in this step, we can not find the best moment when Jesus come. Jesus has already arrived. He is always with us. So, what we should do as a vigilant? We can support ourselves and the others to become more responsible for the time we have. Don’t waste the time said the businessman. We use our time to glorify Him. Invite the others to use their time to pray and do more activities again as a manifest of the presence of God. God is present in the poor people so we go there to serve them, to help them. This is the meaning of becoming vigilant of Christ.

I am vigilant in my studies. My friend priest who supports me become vigilant in his job as a priest in the convent. We are all a vigilant in our daily life. 

Have a nice day.
