The papal visit is one of the most
awaited events of every Roman Catholic. For them it’s a blessing from above
that one should not miss. It’s something that one hopes for; that even though
how much tough and struggling this world is, there something that well comfort
them, the pope. I don’t know how come that this much enthusiasm came to every
catholic. Because as I observe from almost every Catholics, they do all their
best preparation just to see it that all well have these sense of spirituality
when they see the pope, much more if they have the chance to talk or just even
touch the pope. But, of course, we who know the truth are not to these issues.
In my life, however I cannot totally say
that I’m any different from them. Because sometimes, I also put my hope on things
that don’t even guarantee good outcome.
One example, back then when I was in
high school. I participated much on contest and that instead of relying on God
for me to pass, I rely rather on my teacher, even on myself that I could do it.
For me it’s a kind of idolatry which the Devil use. People are being diverted to
worshipping a god that’s not real. And Christians are not exempt of this.
In my life, I’ve learned that constant
fellowship with other believers is a must for a Christian to grow. It would be
very ironic for a Christian to not like fellowship since we are described in
the Scripture as a body. We need each other. A lot of times, I don’t have the energy to go
with others. However, I was reminded that, our life is a life meant to
interact. We are to care for one another. I too have to be sensitive to others
need in order to be able to help them.
Others first!
