Jesus' lovers

I like to call, not the Jesus’ follower but the Jesus’ lover. Following Jesus sometimes doesn’t mean loving Jesus. Just follow Him and finish there. The Jesus’ follower means those who really love Him. (Even we need to remember that Jesus loved all of us first). So, we don’t love Him, He already loved all of us.

I call the two disciples of Emmaus as the Jesus’ lover. Why? Because even they can not recognize Jesus at the beginning, finally through the breaking of the bread, they recognize Him. After that, they are really very happy to share their experience with others disciples in Jerusalem. They are very happy again when Jesus comes in the middle of their meeting. Really, this is a joyful experience. Only those who have love can share and enjoy this experience.

Do we still have love in our heart. I invite you to reflect on this experience of the disciples. Not only of two disciples of Emmaus, but also from the other who gather in Jerusalem. As a Jesus’ follower, we need to share our joyful experience. We receive love from Jesus so we need to joyfully share it with the others. Our Emmaus is our daily life, and our Jerusalem is our gathering place.

Some of them, staying together, that is love


One day before the Palm Sunday. Not like the other year, this year not so busy. Corona Virus Decease saying covid-19 cancelled many activities. Palm Sunday is one of these important activities that was cancelled since last month. Supposed to be a very grateful celebration. But the fact is different.

Today, I joint the students and the teachers in preparing the palm for this coming celebration. I learn how to make that simple palm leaf become more beautiful. Many friends offered me the styles that should I follow. I choose one that very easy for me. I follow one time the example they give. Then, make three times. After that, I make it very easy and fast.

I think that time was very preciously. Nothing to lose. It was the best time to love others. I am sure that LOVE IS STAY TOGETHER. Not all of us is good to make up that leaf. But we learn from the others. We spend time together. That is love. Love in daily life. Love in a simple thing. I love all of you, friends. Thanks for your time in teaching me, make up the palm with a new style.

update covid-19
Ada satu hal yang menakutkan pekan ini. Yakni soal wabah Covid-19. Tingkat ketakutannya pun bermacam-macam. Ada yang takut sekali. Ada yang aman-aman saja. Seperti Covid-19 yang kadang memberi tanda-tanda: demam, batuk, atau sesak napas. Tapi juga tanpa tanda apa-apa dan tiba-tiba jantung berhenti berdetak. Itulah sebabnya, pagi tadi saya membalas pesan seorang teman: di sini, kami aman-aman saja. Tapi aman-aman yang menakutkan.

Di kota kecil Maesot ini memang aktivitas warga seperti biasa. Hanya saja lebih banyak yang beraktivitas dari rumah. Anak sekolah berlibur di rumah. Kota perbatasan Thailand-Myanmar ini pun punya wajah baru. Yakni tanpa mobil berplat Myanmar. Biasanya pagi dan sore diramaikan oleh mobil dari warga sebelah. Saat ini volumenya berkurang. Pemerintah Thailand menutup pintu perbatasan. Pemerintah Provinsi Tak juga menutup pintu perbatasan lainnya. Bahkan, bandara dan pintu masuk untuk angkatan darat juga sudah ditutup. Teman saya berkomentar, kita masih bisa berkeliaran. Tapi hanya di dalam provinsi saja. Pintu masuk maupun keluar sudah ditutup.

Mari mencintai sesama kita dengan tidak menularkan virus Covid-19 ini. Kalau Anda mau keluar rumah, ingatlah bahwa Anda bisa terjangkit. Lalu bisa menjangkitkan yang lain juga. Maka, berhati-hatilah. Ingatlah selalu untuk cuci tangan dan memakai masker. Sekian update Covid dari Thailand.

update Covid-19

Ada obat penahan rasa sedih. Yakni berusaha untuk tersenyum. Terkait wabah Covid-19, hari ini saya bicara dengan dua Suster di Italia. Saya ingin mengetahui situasi terkini dari sana. Kesan awal yang saya tangkap adalah mereka bahagia. Tetap tersenyum saat saya menelepon via videocall. Mereka tahu bahwa Italia sedang bersedih. Bahkan beberapa Suster dari Indonesia juga ada yang positif Covid-19. Mereka tentu ikut sedih tetapi di satu sisi tetap berusaha tegar. Berbagi senyum.  

Melihat mereka tersenyum, saya pun yakin, covid ini akan berlalu, dan akan ada harapan baru. Mereka menyinggung soal situasi baru di Italia pasca Covid. Katanya kota jadi bersih. Polusi berkurang. Makin banyak orang yang rajin mencuci tangan. Kebiasaan untuk berkumpul pun berkurang. Saat Covid berlalu, harapan memang mesti ada. Kalau tidak, hidup hanya akan berjalan di tempat. Dan, harapan ini diungkapkan dengan baik oleh seorang penyanyi dalam video yang saya terima. Dia menggunakan kata RINASCERE. Artinya LAHIR KEMBALI. Renasceró-demikian liriknya-yang artinya, saya akan lahir kembali. Dan Rinascerai yang artinya kamu akan lahir kembali.

Semoga kelak, Italia akan lahir kembali. Dengan semangat baru. Harapan baru. Dan kebiasaan baru. Terima kasih Suster sudah berbagi. Hai Covid, cepatlah berlalu.
