SUCCESS BY WISH
Luke 11: 5-13


When I arrived in Bangkok, I need the soap to take a shower. I asked my friend and he accompanied me to one place where there are many things. There are some kinds of soap. He suggested me to choose what I want. He told me that in this room we have many things for the poor people. We give it to those who really need it. And, even we give many things, many things also we receive from many people.

Today’s Gospel talks about the prayer. This is the topic that we read already yesterday. Jesus invites us to continue to pray in faith. Pray in faith means pray to the Lord without stress on our need. We pray and we hope God gives us what we ask, but even God doesn’t give us about it, we continue to pray. The reason is this, we pray to Our Father and not to ask what we want. Jesus also talks that when we ask, continue to ask, and then we will receive it.

I think that what we make here with many things we receive is an application about this persistent prayer. We continue to give, and we continue to receive. Let us pray to the Lord so that we have this kind of attitude to have the persistent prayer.

THE SIMPLE PRAYER
Luke 11: 1-4

When I meet the people after the mass, I always receive the famous messages: Father pray for me. This phrase is repeated many times. This phrase appears also in my personal messages like WhatsApp, Facebook, line, and email. I always reply to them: we pray together.

Today’s Gospel tells about the prayer. The disciples ask Jesus how to pray. He explains them this simple prayer: Our Father. I think that this prayer is very easy. Everyone can proclaim it in every time and place. We can say it in a personal way, without disturb the others.

When I meet the driver who said: Father please pray for me, I don't have time to pray, I told Him: please just say Our Father.

How I pray? How many times do I recognise God in my prayer?

LEARN TO LISTEN
Luke 10: 38-42


Reflecting on today’s Gospel, I find myself on the contrary way. The Gospel invites us to become an audience than a spokesman. But, at this moment, I am learning the Thai Language, so I learn to more speak. Even this is only an exercise, until now, I don’t have many vocabularies. Every day, I try to reply to the question of the teacher and my friend but many times I fold because I can not understand the question.

I think that at this moment Jesus invites us, invites me, to learn how to listen to Him. Maria shows us his way, that is to sit in the feet of Jesus and listen to Him. What I’m doing now can bring me to more listen and sit. Now, maybe I need to more speak than listen but will come the time for me, to be more listen than speak. 

In our busy days, we try to listen to the Word of God, in our particular way. Someone can download the daily short meditation. Others may be to enter the church and just see the holy cross. Other again maybe can read the daily Gospel in his office.


Let us try it.
