The Lord Is My Chef Breakfast Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Tuesday, Advent Week-III, 15 December 2020 Zephaniah 3:1-2, 9-13 >><)))*> + <*(((><< Matthew 21:28-32
Dearest God our Father: Lately our social media giants were having problems, one by one, had gone down for several hours with glitches that could not be accessed. And everybody is complaining that in less than a week, Messenger, GMail, and YouTube have landed on headlines in the world.
What is happening?
A new religion? A new god everybody is following?
Almost everyone is crazy risking one’s life for the sake of remaining in the web because even children declare, “wifi is life”!
It may be funny but thought-provoking at how we would always want our internet, apps and gadgets perfectly working, doing good all the time.
If we could just be like our internet, apps, and gadgets, Lord, to be simply good as persons, everything would flow smoothly especially our relationships with everybody happy and nobody complaining.
But we are more than internet, apps and gadgets, Lord!
This Season of Advent, teach us to be simply good, to stop all debates and complicated discussions on so many things in life like those people in Jerusalem both during the time of Zephaniah and Jesus Christ.
“Purify our lips” (Zeph.3:9), Lord, that we may “walk our talk” like the first son in the parable: though he said no to his father’s request, he changed his mind and obeyed him (Mt. 21:28-29).
Let us be good brothers and sisters, good neighbors, good classmates, good colleagues, good Christians who reflect more of your presence than what we know or whatever is in our minds that we always insist.
Let us be kind and caring, never judging others, always respecting one another, and trying to find what is good than what is wrong. Amen.
