Daily Readings: Ephesians 3:2-12; Luke 12:39-48
I lost my phone inside the convent five days ago. I heard someone open the dining room sliding door but I did not bother to check who. An hour later, when I went out of my room to get my phone from the dining room’s bamboo chair, it was not anymore there.
Had I known that it was a thief who entered the convent, I would have opened my door and prevented the thief. It was evening, but I did not know that a thief would be coming that evening.
So, I lost my phone and everything that was stored in it—all because I had not known. I was careful on other days but on other days I was not.
Don’t we live our lives this way? Some days, we go to Church. Some days we pray. Some days, we do good. Some days, we put God in our lives. But other days, we don’t. When it’s not convenient, we don’t. When things are okay and we are having fun, we don’t. When we are busy, we don’t.
Call to Action for Catholic Living: God’s grace is ever flowing. God’s love is ever-present. God’s mercy is ever available. How about us? Are we consistently recognizing God’s grace? Are we consistently responding to His love? Are we consistently availing of his mercy?
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
