PARTICIPATED IN TESTIMONY
Luke 12: 8-12


Every week, we meet the children who come to our house. Little by little, day by day, week by week, I notice one thing about Thai people or Buddhist people. I notice that most of them use a necklace of Buddha. I can say that this necklace is like a holy cross for us Catholics and Protestant. I think that this necklace is a kind of testimony to say that I am a Buddhist, I am a follower of Buddha.

Today's Gospel talks about the testimony. The testimony is like the Thai people show us through their necklace. This a kind of testimony. Like them, even for us, this also could be not a testimony. Some can say that I use this just as a fashion. No problem. But, for us, this is a testimony.

The real testimony for us is our life. Our daily life is really the best place to make a testimony. It can talk more than an accessory. In our daily life, we can find our self sometimes in a happiness but sometimes in sadness. It means that if our testimony just like a necklace it can be very easy. But, if we can do more than this, it can be very meaningful and at the same time may be very difficult. At that point, only one way for us to go out from this situation. The way is asking the help of the Holy Spirit. Actually, only the Holy Spirit can make the testimony. All of us are just a participant in the testimony.

Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily life, to make our testimony.

LIGHTED BY FAITH
Luke 12: 1-7

One day during the winter season in Italy, I heard the voice of our Rector. He said, “Are you sure that here there is the light ?” No one of us in that internet point responds it because no one feels in the dark. In fact, at that time everybody was busy with his chatting. We feel in the light because of the computer’s monitor. But, actually,  there was a darkness in the room. The interrogation was not about our feeling about the room but it was a request to turn on the light.

Our faith is about the light. We are like in the big room full of light. The problem is we don't know where we are. We feel in the light but actually, we are in the dark. Sometimes, we don’t aware of our position. We make many wicked things and think that all of this is good. We don’t realize that what we do now in the dark, one day will appear in the light. What I do today will be revealed in next day. In that time, we will realize how wrong is our action.

Reflecting this reality, we need the light of Christ. Actually, he always gives us His Light. Now, he is waiting for our response. We want to be in the light with Him or we want to stay in our dark. 

Have a nice day.

TABLE OF EUCHARIST
Luke 10: 1-9


One of the good traditions in Thailand is eating together after the Sunday Mass. I saw this in some places. It is good because the people can continue the Eucharist in this table. The table of Eucharist outside of the holy mass. Last Sunday and two weeks ago, I participated in the ‘table of Eucharist’ in one parish out of Bangkok. The people generously prepare the food for all. I really enjoy it even I only just to smile with them without understanding the language. Here, we can find the mutual relationship between us as a missionary or as a priest and the people of God. We put all our trust in the heart of people who prepare food for us.

Today’s Gospel talks about the disciples who sent by Jesus. They also put their trust in the people they will meet in the mission. That’s why Jesus asks them to don’t bring many things. Bring only the trust and peace. For me as a missionary, this Gospel is really a life experience. I feel that not only I read it but also I experience it here in Thailand. We are all the disciples of Jesus. We must trust our need of food to the people of God we meet. God sends to them the heart to receive us in His mission.

Let us pray with Saint Luke who bring the Gospel for all people who wants to know the Good News.
