SAVED BY JESUS
Mark 10: 46-52

I believe that we see the people cry out everywhere. Around our house in Bangkok, there are a lot of people cry out for many reasons: drug, good life, good feature, asking help, angry and many other reasons. We can say that there are two kinds of crying: for good and for bed. In this reflection, I want to go deep in the crying for good things.

In today’s Gospel, we read the blind man cry out for Jesus. He doesn’t see Jesus but he knows Jesus is passing by. This is the reason why he cries. He wants to see Him. He believes that Jesus can open his eyes. Jesus recognises how large the faith of this man. “Your faith saved you.”

Can we say to others, “Your faith saved you?” For me, I never say it. Maybe it could be for you also. Sometimes, I find myself like the disciples: blind to see the reality around me. I listen but I don’t care about it. I become blind in faith.

Let us pray to the Lord so that we can let Him open our heart to recognise Him in our daily life.

Happy Sunday.

CONVERT BY PATIENT
Luke 13: 1-9


When entering our Thai school in Payatai, I try to greet the guard in the gate. Every day I make like this not only for him but also for other people like in the convent of the sisters, in the station metal detector. Usually, in these latter two places, I received a good response. But, in the school, in the beginning, was not so good. I never see this guard smiles, always very serious. I try to continue my regards for him every day. About one or two weeks after, finally I see him in the new look, he smiles at us. I said, finally I convert this person. This is just a little story about our life.

In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to change our lives. Sometimes we need to change from bad things to good things, from good things to more good things. Like in the Gospel we are invited to cut the bad things that don’t produce good things. Don’t forget and don’t fear to cut it from our daily life. Converting or changing one style to other style is not easy. Even for us. Today’s Gospel gives us hope that we have time to make it. Jesus gives the second occasion to change our lives. If we want we can try, Jesus is waiting for us. We really give thanks to Him because of this. I am very happy with our faith. In other religion maybe doesn’t have this possibility to convert, to make a little or big change. 
Let us pay and ask the Help of Jesus so that our heart is open to conversion.

SEPARATED BY DIFFERENCES
Luke 12:49-53

Every switch has the effect. That’s why for some people don’t want or very difficult to change. They notice the change or reform as a crucial thing. I remember here in Bangkok, many families from the slum area don’t want to change the way of life, change place to live, etc. They feel good in actual place. They don’t need the new place. They know that this change carries them to a totally new situation.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus said that he comes to bring the division. The division happens because of the presence of Jesus. Many people don’t accept the lifestyle of Jesus, many others accept it. When the community becomes two groups like this, the division is coming.ri

In our Catholic Church, there is a lot of changes like now with Pope Francis. Some of Church leaders don’t accept the reformation. Let us pray so that we can respect each other include their personal opinions. May Jesus change them to the new situation. 

Have a nice day.
