FOUND BY GOD
Luke 9: 7-9


Some of my friends, Christians and not, have this question: do you believe that Jesus is the son of God?

I think that they still have a curiosity about Jesus. They want to know who Jesus is. Some of them also know that Jesus is one of the holy men in the world, one of the prophets, son of Mary and Joseph, etc.

Herod in today's Gospel has the same curiosity. He wants to know who is Jesus. He is a king who uses the power in his kingdom. After using all of this, he still remains in curiosity about Jesus. It is same to say that, all his power is passed but Jesus remains to be sought.  

Seeking or finding Jesus must be our daily desire. I like to repeat this phrase, Yes...I want to find Jesus today, Yes...I want to seek Jesus today. But as you know, Jesus is very difficult to find, to seek. What we can do is to let Him find us, to let Him seek us, to let ourselves to be found and to be sought by Him.

Jesus is always with us, but if we don’t let Him come to us, we can not find it. Jesus, help me to be sought by you.

BROKEN BY JESUS
Luke 8: 4-15

Going around the slum area in Bangkok, I find the beautiful thing to reflect. One day, we visited one family. The Father sleeps on the floor, based on a simple mattress. He doesn't want to change his clothes. Really, he is angry when we change it. My friend told me that he did not want to change the bed. Before, he slept on the trash. I can say that this attitude is like a rock that so difficult to break, to destruct.
  
Sometimes, facing the Word of God, our heart is like a rock, a stone. I myself feel it many times. I listen to it but I don’t want enter more deeply in the close relationship with the Word, with Jesus our Lord. So, this Word of God is like one or one things that pass by in my daily life. Today's Gospel reminds me, reminds us that only God can change our heart. He can break our rocky-heart and gives us new open-heart that ready to receive the Word of God.

Today, I pray so that we can let God breaks our rocky-heart and then we receive His Word. Receiving it means we walk with Him in our daily life.

BECAUSE OF LOVE
Luke 7: 31-35


Love has a big meaning. Sometimes it is very difficult to explain or to understand. We can only feel it that love is the big meaning thing. 

This love appears in the life of a wife of one sick people that we visited yesterday in the slum area of Bangkok. The husband is sick. He always sleeps. Maybe the doctor will say, we just wait for the best moment of him. But, the wife is always faithful stay beside him. I saw the inner happiness of this lady. Facing the difficult situation like this is not easy. I believe that without love, the lady will leave this husband. With love, smile and easy thing come out.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us to keep the love. Love here means to let Him enter into our life. This is our love for Him. Like children that let many things enter in his brain so that they can learn many new things. Love is very nice. Saint Paul in the first reading also stresses on this aspect. If we choose between faith, hope and love, Paul invites us to choose love because love remains always.

With love, we can let Jesus enter in our daily life. So, let us keep our loving for Him and for the others.
