Jesus' lovers

I like to call, not the Jesus’ follower but the Jesus’ lover. Following Jesus sometimes doesn’t mean loving Jesus. Just follow Him and finish there. The Jesus’ follower means those who really love Him. (Even we need to remember that Jesus loved all of us first). So, we don’t love Him, He already loved all of us.

I call the two disciples of Emmaus as the Jesus’ lover. Why? Because even they can not recognize Jesus at the beginning, finally through the breaking of the bread, they recognize Him. After that, they are really very happy to share their experience with others disciples in Jerusalem. They are very happy again when Jesus comes in the middle of their meeting. Really, this is a joyful experience. Only those who have love can share and enjoy this experience.

Do we still have love in our heart. I invite you to reflect on this experience of the disciples. Not only of two disciples of Emmaus, but also from the other who gather in Jerusalem. As a Jesus’ follower, we need to share our joyful experience. We receive love from Jesus so we need to joyfully share it with the others. Our Emmaus is our daily life, and our Jerusalem is our gathering place.

dining room in Villa Paganini, Parma-Italy


Today’s Gospel reminds me about Philippines. There, I always had breakfast when I went to celebrate the morning Mass in the convent. During the breakfast, we shared many things. About the daily life, community life, the social situation, politic and culture. Having breakfast together is a good chance to know each other.

Jesus invites Peter and friends to have breakfast with Him. I will be very happy if I am there with Peter. There will be a special breakfast. The Jesus’ presence is important for them. He brings the new hope when they are hopeless. One night without gaining what they want to have. Following the Jesus’ order, they got many fish. This is not only a miracle but also the God grace.

We are all invited to have breakfast with Jesus. It also reminds us to open our heart and go out from our comfort zone. Jesus will share many things with us so only if we want to listen to Him, we can get something from Him. If not, that breakfast reminds only as ordinary gathering. Have a nice day.

Some of them, staying together, that is love


One day before the Palm Sunday. Not like the other year, this year not so busy. Corona Virus Decease saying covid-19 cancelled many activities. Palm Sunday is one of these important activities that was cancelled since last month. Supposed to be a very grateful celebration. But the fact is different.

Today, I joint the students and the teachers in preparing the palm for this coming celebration. I learn how to make that simple palm leaf become more beautiful. Many friends offered me the styles that should I follow. I choose one that very easy for me. I follow one time the example they give. Then, make three times. After that, I make it very easy and fast.

I think that time was very preciously. Nothing to lose. It was the best time to love others. I am sure that LOVE IS STAY TOGETHER. Not all of us is good to make up that leaf. But we learn from the others. We spend time together. That is love. Love in daily life. Love in a simple thing. I love all of you, friends. Thanks for your time in teaching me, make up the palm with a new style.
