Be Faithfully Devoted

Daily Readings: 1 John 2:12-17; Luke 2:36-40
The Gospel speaks of an old woman, Anna. In today’s world, she may seem like just an old woman, someone whose life is insignificant. She has nothing to brag about—no diplomas, titles, or properties.
But Anna is more than any worldly success we could speak about. She embodies faithfulness, something not fleeting. She lived a devoted life to God, something that transcends the grave.
Faithfulness to God means being detached from sin. Devotion to God means being focused ONLY on God. We cannot say we are faithful and devoted to God if we have so many other concerns that God becomes just an option.
May we be like Anna, who knows what truly matters. May we be truly faithful and devoted to God.
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: Be faithful and devoted to God, focusing solely on Him. Let go of distractions and live a life that reflects true devotion.
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.
