Daily Readings: 1 Maccabees 6:1-13; Luke 20:27-40
Most people hope to leave a legacy so that they will be remembered when their earthly life has ended. In the first reading, King Antiochus despairs because the legacy he has planned was destroyed as his kingdom collapsed. The Sadducees test Jesus with a question about levirate marriage, a Jewish custom outlined in the Torah that made sure that men who died childless would still have heirs and leave a legacy.
The legacy that we leave is a legacy of faith. We share the Good News that we have received from the Lord. We help people encounter Jesus and accompany them as they grow in their relationship with him. We leave as our legacy our lives of loving service, using our time, treasure, and talent to help our vulnerable brothers and sisters. The acts of love rendered in faith that we leave behind us are the greatest legacy we could leave because they honor the God of the living.
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.
