Today’s Gospel tells about the servant. All the Christians are the servants of God. Jesus says that we are no more as a slave but as a servant. As Jesus says, servant intends to serve and not to be served.
In our daily life in Bangkok, we are the servants. More details are useless servants because we serve the non-Christians people. But, are we really the useless servants? Yes, I think. It means that event we serve the non-Christians, actually not we who serve them but our Lord Jesus Christ. When we serve the Buddhist people we serve God.
So, we try to see God in our missionary service. When entering our Thai school in Payatai, I try to greet the guard in the gate. Every day I make like this not only for him but also for other people like in the convent of the sisters, in the station metal detector.

Usually, in these latter two places, I received a good response. But, in the school, in the beginning, was not so good. I never see this guard smiles, always very serious. I try to continue my regards for him every day. About one or two weeks after, finally I see him in the new look, he smiles at us.
I said, finally I convert this person. This is just a little story about our life. In today’s Gospel Jesus invites us to change our lives. Sometimes we need to change from bad things to good things, from good things to more good things. Like in the Gospel we are invited to cut the bad things that don’t produce good things. Don’t forget and don’t fear to cut it from our daily life. Converting or changing one style to other style is not easy.
Today’s Gospel gives us hope that we have time to make it. Jesus gives the second occasion to change our lives. If we want we can try, Jesus is waiting for us. We really give thanks to Him because of this.
I am very happy with our faith. In other religion maybe doesn’t have this possibility to convert, to make a little or big change. I took breakfast with the priest in the convent this morning. I went there to say the Mass in Thai. Today (Oct 23) in Thailand is a holiday so there were few people in the church.

During the breakfast, we talked more about the Thai language. I like one comment father said to me, “I hope you learn Thai very fast so that you can preside the Mass soon. But, don’t worry, I am with you, we are with you to support your study.” I am very happy to listen to it.
One is a courage, other is a support. It gives me a new spirit in my studying. Today’s Gospel talks about the vigilant. We are called to become a vigilante.

But, our job is not only about waiting for Jesus’ coming. If we still in this step, we can not find the best moment when Jesus come. Jesus has already arrived.

He is always with us. So, what we should do as a vigilant? We can support ourselves and the others to become more responsible for the time we have.
Don’t waste the time said the businessman. We use our time to glorify Him. Invite the others to use their time to pray and do more activities again as a manifest of the presence of God. God is present in the poor people so we go there to serve them, to help them. This is the meaning of becoming vigilant of Christ.
