The grief of the traveler (Tread Reflection) -Between Love And Hate


This journey is indeed far away; but unfortunately we only have a little time to travel. That's how we: The traveler who stopped for a moment to take a swig of water, then went back on his way. A long journey that trails the slopes full of menacing threats and deadly desert. The Musafir's body was stabbed with forest thorns and gravel and drifted in the waves of a sea of ​​fire.
"The traveler is sent to the middle of the wolf"
Very good ...
Is this a life book? Or like a classroom test?
If it is a book of life, why do YOU ​​let the traveler swallow the bitter verses? Do not YOU accompany it until the end of time? Or if this is a test; TEAR I AM WHEN ONLY YOU WANT; The Field of Love that YOU give has never ceased to bear fruit.
That is the food I give to every wriggers of the fields and the slopes.
The Christian faith is always tested with all kinds of trials; ranging from individual suffering as well as suffering involving all the brothers and sisters in faith. We all (the Church), again grieve over the events that befell the brothers and sisters in Surabaya. On the sidelines of this grief situation, our human reactions also arise. There is a feeling of anger, ALLAH, fear, the atmosphere of terror-raging in the course of our lives today.
Not a few of us (I) are spontaneously exclaiming: "Is the Christian One."
Others openly say: this is an evil act; people who are not Christians. Some say that this is related to the political chain, some are shouting about human rights. All that is commonplace as a spontaneous reaction.
But "Let's Go to a Deeper Place" based on the very essence of our faith.
The event that befell our brothers and sisters (Church) in Surabaya, becomes a test of maturity of faith. The extent to which the love of Christ is proclaimed and lived in the midst of the hard corals of the life of the nation and the state. Father Sakharias Belita SVD (Alm) with (us) all members of the community of the Parish priest of the Most Holy Heart Lord Jesus Pota, praying the Rosary and Presenting the Holy Mass For Amrozi and Comrades before their execution. Can we give left cheek after our right cheek in tamapar? Or reply to him with cotton after he threw stones at us?
"This is not an easy matter".
This is very difficult indeed. Need maturity of faith, patient and steadfast even though we have a limit of patience (as a human being).
The blood of our brothers and sisters is shed because of the steadfastness of his faith. Brother Ahok; like a sheep being led to the slaughterhouse; to save the situation.
Let us learn from them, while making our Christian human effort, and Praying for each other.

The Failure of the Church Today-Sacrament and Money

On this day, the Church stands in the midst of an increasingly advanced world situation, a storm of secularism, political upheaval and terrorism. The Church is indeed in the midst of the desolate Desert. This is what the church (we) feel today. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the globalization situation, we (the people) experience a sad reality born from within the church (leader) itself. There is a different service of God's Love for every people. For every pastoral ministry, we (the Church) can clearly see the works in each Base Group. The most prominent is their life situation. There are Poor, Sufficient and some are Rich. Here we can see that the ministry of Christ's love is quite different between the poor and the rich. Sometimes the sacrament and sacramental service for the poor sisters and brothers is always being pushed and delayed; when they desperately need it. The trigger of this is: "Not paying off Church Finance". It seems that money ...

Mother wihel loyalty

In a parish there is an old lady called a wihel mother who has been long ago. The mother has three children; two daughters and a son. Two of his daughters are married, and live with their husbands and far enough away from their home parish. The son lives with his mother. It is she who nourishes the mother and their survival. Since abandoned by the father, the three children of wihel mother only received education in elementary school. Understandably they are just poor peasant families. Mother wihel with her son is a Christian (Catholic) who diligently worship and contribute to the church. One thing that holds this family life is; that they are happy to have Jesus as their Savior. In the midst of their misery, they remain faithful and believe in Jesus' help. One day before the night, suddenly heavy rain accompanied by strong wind. The house of a wihel mother with a reed roof and bamboo walls fell instantly. That night temporarily wihel mother and son stayed in one of the n...
