daripada anda di mana pun tanpa Dia.

TUHAN TOLONGLAH.
28 Juni 2016.
"Maka datanglah murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia, katanya:
"Tuhan, tolonglah, kita binasa" (Mat 8:25)
Lectio
Am 3:1-8; 4:11-12; Mzm 5:5-6,7,8; Mat 8:23-27
Hidup sebagai pesulap tidaklah mudah bagi Edward untuk membiayai kebutuhan keluarga dengan 3 anak.
Yang bisa dilakukannya adalah pergi misa pagi setiap hari dan doa malam keluarga.
Ketika memasuki bulan Mei, Sandra isterinya berkata :
"Pap, kita perlu uang untuk masuk sekolah Andre dan Ruslan. Jumlahnya cukup banyak dan harus tersedia di pertengahan bulan Juni."
Dengan sedikit terkejut Edward pun terdiam dan kemudian berkata :
"Mari kita minta tolong pada Tuhan, mam."
Sejak saat itu setiap malam dan dalam misa pagi, ia selalu mendoakannya.
Seminggu kemudian, ketika doa malam Edward berdoa :
"Terima kasih Tuhan, Engkau selalu hadir dalam keluarga kami, sehingga semua masalah kami dapat terselesaikan."
Setelah selesai berdoa, Sandra berkata :
"Pap, memangnya sudah ada uangnya?"
Edward menjawab :
"Ya, saya mendapat proyek pertunjukan di suatu mall selama 2 minggu. Syukur kepada Allah."
Maka datanglah murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia, katanya :
"Tuhan, tolonglah, kita binasa!"
Ketika kita dalam masalah, berharaplah kepada Tuhan yang selalu setia tinggal bersama kita.
Oratio
Ya Tuhan, tolonglah dalam setiap masalah hidup kami. Amin.
Missio
Marilah kita melakukan karya kerahiman dengan percaya bahwa Tuhan akan membantu setiap masalah kita.
Have a Blessed Tuesday.

Tips of the day: day 1398.
Dunia tidak akan melepaskan kita seenaknya mengikuti Tuhan.
Dunia mencoba mengikat. dan menggoda sampai kita merasa disinilah tempat yang paling nyaman untuk kita.
Mudah bagi orang Israel kembali ke Mesir, juga tidak perlu waktu lama untuk masuk ke Kanaan. Namun Tuhan mengijinkan orang Israel berkelililng 40 tahun di padang gurun untuk menguji seberapa mereka taat mengikuti Tuhan.
Abraham berkelana kesana kemari karena ia mengikuti Allah. Sekalipun ia tidak diberi tahu kemana ia harus pergi, ia tahu pimpinan-Nya tidak pernah salah.
Meskipun banyak kesulitan yang sepertinya tidak berguna, tetapi itu melatih kita.
"Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Abram:
"Pergilah dari negerimu dan dari sanak saudaramu dan dari rumah bapamu ini ke negeri yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu;"
(Kejadian 12:1).
Selamat pagi sahabat,
have a blessed day!

St Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr.
Tuesday 28th June.
Matthew 8:23-27.
And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.
And they went and woke him, saying,
"Save, Lord; we are perishing."
And he said to them,
"Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?"
Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Jesus knew the storm was coming, and yet wanted His disciples to go through it.
Yes, Jesus wants us to fight. Temptations are allowed by God because they are good for us.
As St Augustine teaches:
if there is no temptation
there is no fight;
if there is no fight
there is no victory;
if there is no victory
there is no prize, no heaven.
Jesus wouldn't stop the storm straightaway, but He wouldn't leave His disciples alone either. He doesn't take the temptations and difficulties from us, nevertheless He helps us to overcome them, to never give up:
He is with us in the same boat.
Richard was 17 years old. He wanted to become a priest but his exams didn't go well.
The rector of the seminary called Richard's father, a humble blacksmith, for a chat.
Richard came into the rector's office with his dad.
The rector, with affection, said to his dad:
'Listen, your son is a very good lad; but maybe God is not calling him to be a priest.
You have to study hard and pass difficult exams for this.
Don't worry; your son can give glory to God in a different way.'
In silence they left the rector's office. Richard writes,
'As if it was yesterday, I remember that cold, dark, wet night. We went home in silence, each of us thinking our own thoughts. Mine were sad.
Finally, showing indifference as boys sometimes do, I said:
'They can keep their title!
I'll get a job and help you, dad'.
My father put his hand on my shoulder and said:
"Don't give up";
then he said
'three words' that I would never forget:
"Go ahead, son."
These three words were echoing in my ears for hours, days... years:
"Go ahead, son"
And I went ahead...' He certainly did. He was ordained priest, bishop and, eventually, Richard Cushing became Cardinal of Boston.
Holy Mary, Help of Christians, be with me in times of temptation, and if I get tired of the struggle, help me to feel God at my side, with His Hand on my shoulder repeating:
"Don't give up;
Go ahead, son."
