BLESSED THE WOMB
Luke 11: 27-28


Many times, I see the mothers who are very happy telling the success story of their children. “My son has a job now, thanks be to God.” This is only one of the many stories. For the rich people, this kind of story perhaps not so great to be proud. But, it is different if the poor family tells it.

Success is the source of joy for the mothers. In today’s Gospel, someone greets the mother of Jesus. “Blessed the womb that bore you….” This greeting means that Jesus is a good son. He makes his mother full of joy.

The joy for Jesus is more than this. Jesus stress on those who listen to the Word of God and observes it. This is another joy that more deeply than the first. We know that Mary, mother of God, is one who completes these things. She is an example for all the Christians.

Let us pray with her particularly in this period, dedicated as a rosary month.

Happy weekend.

BASED ON OPINION
Luke 11: 15-26


Yesterday afternoon, for the first time, I spoke with one Russian worker who serves in our house. Usually, I just greet him in English when we are facing because I don’t know if he speaks Thai or English. After introducing himself, he suddenly asked me, “Do you like Donald Trump?” I told Him that I don’t have many interests to know Trump. He replied that I can know him by listening to the radio news or television. And, I said that I don’t read many things about Donald Trump and I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio. 

Shortly, I told him that I don’t like Trump only about his choice for the immigrant people in the USA. I was very sad listening about the Mexican children who were separated from their family because their parents had a problem with their documents. Other things about him, I don’t know. He told me that he doesn’t like Trump because he makes the rich people become very rich and the poor become very poor. He listened to it from his friends.

Today’s Gospel shows us about the power of Jesus won against the Satan. His power is very powerful than the power of Satan. Even Jesus won, many people asked Him about his power. Some of them judged Him that He won against the Satan with the power of Beelzebul. If Jesus uses the power of Satan how come He make fall the Satan?

Their judgment doesn’t have a strong argument. We can say that this judgment based only on the listening and not on the experiencing about it. We can not make like this. If we want to speak about Jesus, we must have a relation with Him. We can not tell many things about Jesus by giving the information that we receive from the other people. I believe, in this case, we can share the outcome of our relation with Him.

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.
