You are Precious
December 10, 2024 Tuesday of the Second Week of Advent
Daily Readings: Isaiah 40:1-11; Luke 18:12-14
Have you ever fathomed how precious you are in the eyes of God? Look at the cross; that is the price God paid for us. You are far more precious than anything or anyone could ever offer you. This is the essence of the Gospel today. The Lord shows us how important each person is. A lost person is precious because the Lord will never stop seeking them.
When I consider the enormity of the mission before us, I sometimes feel overwhelmed and frustrated. It often seems like we are able to do so little. While we catechize hundreds of children and youth and reach out to a number of Catholics, I know this is just a fraction of the vast number of people we are unable to reach.
Whenever this thought weighs on me, I find comfort in this message: one lost soul is precious to the Lord. So, one soul at a time. Yes, one soul matters!
You are precious, and so is the person next to you. May we find comfort in this truth, and may it inspire us to reach out and touch one person at a time.
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: "Remember, every soul matters to God. Live the Gospel daily—love, seek, and reach out to one person at a time. Your small acts of faith can lead others to Christ."
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.
