"Janganlah kamu takut terhadap mereka, karena tidak ada sesuatu pun yang tertutup yang tidak akan dibuka dan tidak ada sesuatu pun yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan diketahui. Apa yang Kukatakan kepadamu dalam gelap, katakanlah itu dalam terang; dan apa yang dibisikkan ke telingamu, beritakanlah itu dari atas atap rumah."
(Mat 10:26-27)

Simple recipe of living in harmony

After the solemn introductory part, the mass is celebrated as usual. In his homily, Fr. Pati Soge reminds the congregation, that the Divine Mercy devotion is a simple human act of honoring Jesus Christ, the Savior that has sacrificed himself to save all mankind. It is joyful to honor Jesus, but it is more joyful to implement this spiritual richness that might reach out and touch the hearts of many. Quoting the simple recipe for harmony in family life, at a catechesis by Pope Francis, Fr. Pati Soge emphasizes the three things: patience, remorse and gratitude, expressed in its unique way: “excuse me”, “I am sorry” and “thank you”. With patience, people respect other people along with all their weakness. With remorse, people acknowledge their weakness and willingness to correct themselves. With gratitude, people acknowledge other people’s role in their lives, which often pictures the role of God himself. When this recipe works well within Christian families, it certainly works well for the whole Church, as the church is nothing more but union of Christian families around the world.
