Daily Readings: Galatians 4:22-24, 26-27, 31–5:1; Luke 11:29-32


Have you ever faced a moment in life when you didn’t understand what was happening and prayed for a sign, but none came? How did that make you feel—lost or hopeful? It's natural for us to seek signs as a form of assurance, especially when things don’t go as expected.

We know of people whose faith has been shaken by life’s trials. Some have even questioned God or severed their relationship with Him entirely.

Today’s Gospel reminds us that we must hold onto faith in God’s plan, even when we don’t understand or see the signs we hope for. True faith means trusting beyond what our eyes can perceive, beyond our expectations.

What prevents us from seeing God in our daily lives? Why do we focus only on problems and despair? Sin clouds our vision and distorts our perception of God’s presence. The first reading tells us that only the Lord can free us from this blindness.

Call to Action for Catholic Living: Sin enslaves us, but Christ frees us from its grip. The Gospel calls us to repent and be converted, so we may see the Lord in His glory.

 

 

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.
