WAITING FOR THE KINGDOM
Luke 17: 20-25


After this mass, I will go to school, take the MRT and BTS. I make this way every day. I stop in the station, waiting for BTS and MRT. When I was meditating this Gospel, I remembered this experience. I said that if I can know the coming of the Kingdom of God, as I know when the BTS comes, I will be very happy. I will make a good preparation. But, in today's Gospel we listen, no one knows the coming of the Kingdom. I and you know the coming of BTS
(around 3 or 5 minutes) but I and you can not know the coming of the Kingdom of God.

I think that His coming is like in the Christmas that we will celebrate in next month. Jesus comes in the silent night. Many people don’t recognise his presence. So, I think that we don’t need to know when He will come. Because the Gospel says: the Kingdom of God is among you. We need only to realize his presence. What will we prepare is about ourselves. Let us ask the help of God so that we can enter in silence so that we realize the presence of the Kingdom of God.

USELESS SERVANT
Luke 17: 7-10


Many friends ask me about our missionary service here in Bangkok. Most of them ask about to whom we serve? The answer is to the Buddhist people. Why? Because the majority of Thai people are Buddhists. Our missionary charism also is about bringing Jesus to those who don’t know Him yet. They are in this category. 

Today’s Gospel tells about the servant. All the Christians are the servants of God. Jesus says that we are no more as a slave but as a servant. As Jesus says, servant intends to serve and not to be served. In our daily life in Bangkok, we are the servants. More details are useless servants because we serve the non-Christians people. But, are we really the useless servants? Yes, I think. It means that event we serve the non-Christians, actually not we who serve them but our Lord Jesus Christ. When we serve the Buddhist people we serve God. So, we try to see God in our missionary service.

How about you? Are you a servant also? To whom you serve? Let us ask the Lord to give us his Spirit to go on in our daily life as a useless servant of God.

A GREAT DUTY
Luke 17: 1-6

The experience of forgiveness is always a difficult problem. I can explain very well about this topic but in practice, I fail. It is easy to say "I forgive you". But, it is hard to say "I am sorry". Many times I respond to my friends "I forgive you", but I have still an anger in my heart.

Today’s gospel informs us about forgiveness. If we can forgive our friends, it will be a good experience. Jesus invites us to forgive the others. We know that sometimes it is very difficult, but we must try. With His help, we can try it. Jesus invites us to put it in practice. We can answer it with our faith. Similar to the disciples, we can ask Jesus to strengthen our faith in order to able to forgive the others.

I invite you to read this words of Matthew Henry, “The giving of offences is a great sin,” “the forgiving of offences is a great duty.”

Have a nice day.
