Maesot-Thailand

 Ada gunanya punya rasa percaya diri
Setidaknya bisa memiliki harapan
Untuk bertindak di kala ada masalah
Mencoba mencari solusi

Percaya memang erat dengan berharap
Percaya dengan demikian berarti mempunyai harapan
Maka penting memiliki kepercayaan
Karena akan memperoleh harapan juga

Terima kasih Yesus
Engkau memberi kami iman
Untuk berharap dan mencintai-Mu
Dan iman kami bukan dari diri kami

Engkau sendirilah yang menghadiahkannya pada kami
Kami hanya menerima
Dan ada juga yang menolak
Sebab Engkau memberi kami kebebasan

Hari ini kami sangat senang
Mendapat hidangan rohani dari-Mu
Hidangan jasmani bagi 5000 lebih orang
Hidangan yang lezat

Yesus, di saat kami dilanda covid-19 ini
Banyak dari kami kekurangan makanan
Mereka amat membutuhkan makanan itu
Kami yakin Engkau telah mengenyangkan mereka dengan makanan dari-Mu

Lebih dari makanan jasamani
Mereka juga merindukan makanan rohani dari-Mu
Yesus, Engkau tahu kami amat merindukan-Mu
Untuk menerima hidangan rohani itu

Tidak ada Misa tapi banyak yang mengikuti Misa online
Tidak menerima komuni kudus tapi banyak yang merindukan komuni kudus itu
Tidak ada Misa Mingguan tapi banyak yang merindukan pertemuan seperti itu
Tidak ada kunjungan pastor tapi banyak yang melihat-lihat foto kunjungan pastoral lainnya

Yesus Engkau tahu semuanya
Betapa kami merindukan-Mu
Kami rindu hidangan dari-Mu
Jasmani dan rohani

Terima kasih Yesus
Di tengah keraguan iman Filipus dan Andrew
Engkau masih tetap memberi kami hidangan
Betapa Engkau mencintai kami
Terima kasih Yesus

Maesot,Thailand

Have you ever heard your friends say that they have a little faith only? Many people try to measure their faith. But we don’t have a certain measurement for it. So, never mind if you have weak or strong faith. My friends always tell me that my faith smaller than theirs. I just accept it and tell them to pray for me. However, having faith in God is important for us. It doesn’t matter strong or weak. 

Have a faith in God means believing in God. And, those who believe in God have eternal life. The Gospel of yesterday announced this. So, if you have faith in God, you have everlasting life. Life here on the earth and life there in heaven. Life at this moment and life in eternity. Phillip and Andrew have an interesting experience with their faith. Not like Andrew, Philip has no faith in Jesus. He was not sure about the food enough for so many people. Rather, Andrew has little faith. He still has a hope that food will be enough for all. From that little, Jesus makes an abundant food. More than people need.

Like Phillip and Andrew, Jesus encourages us to have faith in Him. Believe and have faith in God means having a hope to do something. We try our part. The rest is God’s part. We believe that the Corona Virus will pass away. So, we do what we can do to make it possible. The rest, let God does for us. Have a nice day.

Lamphun-Thailand

Cinta mati kata mereka
Maksudnya cinta sampai mati
Cinta akan tetap ada
Sampai maut memutuskan

Cinta ini tak ada habisnya
Selagi masih hidup
Cinta akan terus ada
Cinta ini jadi cinta hidup

Cinta memang mesti menghidupkan
Cinta kalau mematikan
Hanyalah sebuah kepalsuan
Cinta itu hakikatnya adalah hidup

Cinta inilah yang menjiwai
Relasi intim antara Bapa dan Putera
Bapa sampai mengatakan dengan jelas
Betapa Ia mencintai Putra-Nya

Memang demikian adanya
Bapa mencintai sang Putra
Kita pun diajak untuk percaya
Pada sang Putra

Dia yang membawa Cinta Abadi dari Bapa
Sang Maha Cinta sejati
Yang percaya akan beroleh hidup
Jadi cinta memang menghidupkan

Terima kasih Bapa
Sang pemberi cinta
Terima kasih Yesus
Sang penerus cinta Bapa

in front of Buddhist Temple, Lampun-Thailand


No one knows daily life can change. The schedule also can be changed at the last moment. Last night, I cannot write my reflection. I read book, then sleep. This morning, before celebrating the Eucharist, I remember some words of today’s Gospel. I try to say it to our faithful. The short homily. This Gospel talks about the centre of our faith. Connected by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is what I said to our beloved Catholic people this morning. Nowadays, many people try to explain who is God. Many authority people try to argue and explain and also write the book about Jesus or about God. But I think that the original idea if we want to know who is Jesus or who is Lord is to read the Gospel. From there, we need to put trust only in Him. Reading the Gospel without believing in Him is similar to paying a big amount of money to the police without giving it to him as an offering.

So, today Jesus invites us to believe in Him. Believing means make Him our inspiration in daily life. Only with this, we can have a new life, the eternal life in Him.
Have a nice day.

Maesot-Thailand
Terima kasih Cinta
Cinta terindah
Dari Allah Bapa
Untuk dunia

Ia mengutus Putra-Nya
Kepada dunia yang gelap
Penuh bobrok dan kerakusan
Egoisme yang tak terhingga

Putra-Nya pun ikut jadi korban
Keganasan kerakusan manusia
Mengadili tanpa kesalahan
Dunia seakan tak kenal pengampunan

Menariknya Dia tidak menghindar
Demi bersolider dengan manusia
Ia menghadapi semuanya
Terima kasih Yesus

Terima kasih Bapa
Engkau mencintai kami
Sampai mengorbankan Putra Tercinta
Untuk tinggal bersama kami

Kami pun tahu
Engkau begitu mencintai kami
Engkau mencintai Putra-Mu
Bahkan mengirim putra tercinta untuk kami

Ampunilah kami yang angkuh ini
Terima kasih atas Terang-Mu melalui Putra tercinta
Untuk menerangi kami yang menyukai kegelapan
Sungguh kami akan senang melihat terang-Mu

Karena hanya dengan inilah
Kami mengenal Bapa
Sang pemberi Cinta
Yang menerangi dunia

Terima kasih Bapa
Karena Putra-Mu, kami boleh mengenal Engkau
Karena cinta-Mu, kami boleh melihat terang
Kuatkan kami untuk keluar dari keegoisan kami yang gelap

Bhacayan Mountain, Rizal, Phillipines 

I just talked with our housekeeper about the children. She said, “The children usually don’t want to eat vegetables.” I agree with her. It reminds me also about my childhood. Between fish and vegetables, I chose fish. She continued, “We reject the best thing from our parents. They ask us to eat vegetables because it is good for our health.” Very wise advice. Our parents loved us so that they gave good advice to us. No one of them considers the bad things for their children. As a mother or father, they will give the best one. That is the proof of love from parents to children.

Today, we listen to how the Lord loves us. “God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son…” Touched by this expression, I stop for a moment. Put it in mind, remember how it can happen to me. The answer can help me is through the love of our parents. How our mother and father loved us that they gave the best advice for us. That Lord’ love has another consequence. We are invited not to keep that love, but to spread it to the others. Very interesting to reflect on this process. How we can share that love?

Perhaps this Easter season can help us. Just remember the new hope God gave us through the resurrection. We also need to find our way to build up our hope in our daily life. We are in a special time where we do many things from our house and the local community. How we can share that love with others? The others in our life are our brothers and sisters, our neighbour, friends and so on. Please share with them that love. Covered your happiness with the love of God so that your happiness has a meaning for the others. Give also your love when you give something to others during this time. Only by sharing our love, the love of God can reach many people. Have a nice day.

Terima kasih Yesus
Engkau memberi kami kesempatan
Untuk hidup kembali
Pada kali kedua

Setiap Paskah sebenarnya adalah kesempatan
Untuk mengalami hidup baru
Hidup yang kedua
Setelah lahir kembali

Tentang ini memang amat rumit
Nikodemus pun bingung
Bagaimana mungkin kata dia
Itu akan terjadi

Kami pun bingung
Apa bisa kami seperti itu
Hidup untuk kedua kali
Tetapi akhirnya kami mengerti

Hidup kembali berarti
Lahir kembali dari atas
Maksudnya dari-Mu
Sang Sumber Hidup sejati

Kami ingin hidup kembali
Tiap kali kami jatuh
Dalam dosa yang tak terkira
Agar lahir sebagai manusia yang bertobat

Kami ingin hidup kembali
Setelah mati kutu karena terkurung
Dari wabah penyakit Corona
Agar muncul semangat baru

Memulai hidup baru
Merencanakan kembali aktivitas harian
Hidup mesti terus berjalan
Semoga kami bisa

Kami ingin kembali ke sekolah
Bertemu teman-teman kami
Juga ke kantor
Bertemu rekan kerja

Terima kasih Yesus
Engkau memberi kami kesempatan kedua
Untuk lahir kembali
Hidup sebagai manusia baru

Khaoko-Pitsanulok, Thailand


Bagai air dan angin
Yang memberi kehidupan
Tanpa mengharapkan imbalan
Mengalir dengan bebas

Bagai air dan angin
Air yang berlimpah di bumi
Memberi kehidupan baru
Pada segala makhluk

Bagai air dan angin
Air yang membersihkan kehidupan di bumi
Menghilangkan jejak noda hidup
Pada manusia yang penuh dosa

Bagai air dan angin
Yang berhembus tanpa tahu arah
Pun tanpa tahu asal
Hanya tenaganya yang terasa

Bagai air dan angin
Yang tak terlihat
Hanya efeknya yang terlihat
Itu pun setelah lewat seketika

Bagai air dan angin
Demikianlah pembaruan hidup
Air sumber hidup
Angin lambang Roh Kudus

Terima kasih Yesus
Engkau memberi kami air dan Roh Kudus
Agar kami dilahirkan kembali
Dari air yang menyucikan kami dari dosa
Dari Roh Kudus yang memberi harapan baru pada kami

Khaoko-Pitsanulok, Thailand

After playing badminton this afternoon, I watered the plants. While watering the plants, my friend asked me, “Why are you watering the plants?” I told her that the plants need water, especially during this dry season. Some plants cannot live anymore. But, since I watered it some days ago, little by little the sign of hope comes out. The leaf started to be green. It means that the plants are still alive. I cannot explain how it happens, but I believe that the Creator makes it live again.

Like those plants, we also need to be born again. Having the newborn from above like Jesus told Nicodemus. The change in our life must come from above. Jesus has shown us already, how He suffers, but in the end, receives the resurrection from the Father. We learn from Jesus to make the changing in our daily life. If we want to be born again, just learn from Him. We can evaluate our habits by comparing them with Jesus’ life. Using His way of life, we can interrogate in our daily life.

We can ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. With only our force, we cannot do it. The Holy Spirit can help us by opening our hearts to listen to Him. When we read the Gospel, we try to listen to the word that Jesus uses. Little by little, we can be aware of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Even many times, we don’t know how it works. Just becoming the plants that need the water. The change comes out without knowing it very well. Have a nice day.

menjelaskan iman kepada adik-adik SD,
St Lucia Church, Rumbai-Indonesia
Terima kasih Thomas
Satu dari antara rasul Yesus
Yang terkenal karena keraguannya
Tapi akhirnya percaya

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu-satunya rasul yang bertanya
Tentang Yesus yang bangkit
Yang akhirnya mengerti juga

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu di antara kita semua
Yang jujur akan imannya
Yang akhirnya memiliki iman yang kuat

Terima kasih Thomas
Rasul yang meragukan
Iman yang diterima begitu saja
Yang akhirnya menerima iman yang rasional

Terima kasih Thomas
Satu di antara kami manusia modern
Yang meragukan iman
Namun tak mampu mengakuinya

Terima kasih Thomas
Karena engkau, kami pun beriman
Ya Yesus tambahkanlah iman kami
Seperti Engkau menambah penjelasan pada rasul Thomas
