PARTICIPATED IN TESTIMONY
Luke 12: 8-12
Every week, we meet the children who come to our house. Little by little, day by day, week by week, I notice one thing about Thai people or Buddhist people. I notice that most of them use a necklace of Buddha. I can say that this necklace is like a holy cross for us Catholics and Protestant. I think that this necklace is a kind of testimony to say that I am a Buddhist, I am a follower of Buddha.
Today's Gospel talks about the testimony. The testimony is like the Thai people show us through their necklace. This a kind of testimony. Like them, even for us, this also could be not a testimony. Some can say that I use this just as a fashion. No problem. But, for us, this is a testimony.
The real testimony for us is our life. Our daily life is really the best place to make a testimony. It can talk more than an accessory. In our daily life, we can find our self sometimes in a happiness but sometimes in sadness. It means that if our testimony just like a necklace it can be very easy. But, if we can do more than this, it can be very meaningful and at the same time may be very difficult. At that point, only one way for us to go out from this situation. The way is asking the help of the Holy Spirit. Actually, only the Holy Spirit can make the testimony. All of us are just a participant in the testimony.
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily life, to make our testimony.
