TABLE OF EUCHARIST
Luke 10: 1-9
One of the good traditions in Thailand is eating together after the Sunday Mass. I saw this in some places. It is good because the people can continue the Eucharist in this table. The table of Eucharist outside of the holy mass. Last Sunday and two weeks ago, I participated in the ‘table of Eucharist’ in one parish out of Bangkok. The people generously prepare the food for all. I really enjoy it even I only just to smile with them without understanding the language. Here, we can find the mutual relationship between us as a missionary or as a priest and the people of God. We put all our trust in the heart of people who prepare food for us.
Today’s Gospel talks about the disciples who sent by Jesus. They also put their trust in the people they will meet in the mission. That’s why Jesus asks them to don’t bring many things. Bring only the trust and peace. For me as a missionary, this Gospel is really a life experience. I feel that not only I read it but also I experience it here in Thailand. We are all the disciples of Jesus. We must trust our need of food to the people of God we meet. God sends to them the heart to receive us in His mission.
Let us pray with Saint Luke who bring the Gospel for all people who wants to know the Good News.
