Who rules you?
December 3, 2024 Tuesday of the First Week of Advent
Memorial of Saint Francis Xavier, Priest
Daily Readings: Isaiah 11:1-10; Luke 10:21-24
What blinds or deafens us? What enables us to see or hear?
Today’s Gospel reminds us that it is only the Lord who enables us to see what we need to see and hear what we need to hear. However, there is a condition – we must allow Him to rule over us.
Our stubbornness, pride, selfish interests, and attachment to worldly things prevent us from seeing and hearing rightly. Such blindness and deafness lead us from one mistake to another. This is what true emptiness looks like when we are so full of ourselves. We are empty of what truly matters.
Who truly rules your life?
May we have the eyes to see what we ought to see and the ears to hear what we ought to hear. Let us allow the Lord to truly rule over us.
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: "Open your heart to the Lord’s guidance. Let go of pride and worldly attachments. Allow Him to rule your life, so you may see clearly, hear rightly, and live fully in His grace."
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.
