SIGNS OF GOD'S PRESENCE
Mat 18: 1-5, 10


One time, I visited one of my relatives in the other city. I saw the little cemetery beside his house. I asked him about it. He told me that, one of his children has died and they gave him rest in that place. He also explained to me that this child is an angel for all of them in the family.

Yes, we have this kind of claim that the people who died especially the children become our angels. They don’t have sins so they are holy almost like the angels. In the today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to become like a child who depends his life on the others, the parents, his brothers and sisters. Our life must be like the child’s life. We depend on the God.

We are celebrating the memorial of The Holy Guardian Angels. Everyone has a guardian angel. Pope Francis said that the angels are the sign of the presence of God in our daily life. Let us know their presence in our daily life.

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
Luke 9: 18-22


In the Union Thai Language School of Bangkok, my classmate from Taiwan asked me, “Are you a Christian?” I replied, “I am a Catholic.”

For me, this conversation was very nice. Saying I am a Catholic or a Christian means that I believe in Christ. But, it is really I believe in Christ? How do I believe in Christ? Just saying it or creating a relationship with Him?

Today’s Gospel talks about the identity of Jesus for us. Who is Jesus for me? For you also. Everyone can have his own answer. For me, sometimes I said He is my friend, sometimes He is my Father, my protector, etc. Maybe for you, readers, He is a guide in daily life.

Like I said yesterday, finding the identity of Jesus is our task in daily life. It is not enough to say I believe in Christ. Recognizing his presence in our daily life is one of the many ways that we have to find Him.

So, do I feel His presence in my daily life?

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.
