Key Message:
Recall yesterday’s miracles to receive future miracles!!
Homily:
Testimony: “A girl asked the mother of 5 year old twins, “Can you tell me the secret of your healthy and active children?” The mother
replied, “When I was pregnant, I never worried for a moment. I gave all requirements to Jesus and trusted totally in Him. I was in peace
always”.
Do these statements sound familiar in your mind?
“Lord, if You fix this problem… then I will trust You.”
“If I see a sign… then I will believe.”
The Apostle Thomas doubted once. But we continuously doubt. We doubt all the time, even for a little uncomfortable change.
In today’s Gospel reading, our loving Lord Jesus appeared once again for the Apostle Thomas. It is the same in our lives too.
Our miracles may get delayed. Others may get something that we have been waiting for years. It is only that our time is yet to come.
When the appointed time comes, our Jesus will come!!
Father Abraham received the gift of a child, 25 years after God had promised Him. For 25 years, Father Abraham’s situation did not change.
His wife Sarah did not believe in the promise. Both of them aged gradually. But Father Abraham trusted in God, even though he was able to see that both of them were not fit physically to have a child. He even did not lose his patience with God. He still had faith in God.
So God was comfortable with Father Abraham and considered him as His own friend. God called him as His own friend because Abraham was faithful to trust in His promise.
How do we trust in our Lord Jesus, in our challenging times?
By remembering how God was faithful in keeping His earlier promises.
Can we recall in our minds..
A time when things looked impossible… but something opened up.
Something that opened up is only because our Lord is faithful to His promise “I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS!!”
What is the rootcause for not believing?
We remember our problems very well.
But we forget our miracles.
We forget how our sweet Jesus has carried us on His shoulders to cover the deepest valleys of our lives. Otherwise we couldn’t have made it through.
And then when a new problem comes… we panic.
When Abraham climbed up the mountain to sacrifice his only son Isaac, did he also take a lamb to sacrifice as his backup plan?
When his only son Isaac asked, “Daddy, where is the lamb to sacrifice?”. Abraham told, “God will provide”.
And we all know what happened!! God showed a lamb on the mountain top to Abraham for the sacrifice.
When Abraham was bringing his son Isaac on one side of the mountain, God was bringing a lamb on the other side of the mountain.
Will our Almighty Father let us go out of His hands, when we are trusting Him?
Practical tips:
1. Recall your past testimonies
Write down 3 times God helped you.
When fear comes, read them again. Or read them daily in the morning.
2. Speak faith, not fear
Instead of saying “What will happen?”
Say: “God has taken care of me before. He will do it again.”
3. Remove the backup mindset
Decide: “I will trust God fully in this situation.”
4. Spend time with Jesus daily
Even 5–10 minutes of prayer builds relationship.
When praying do not use complicated words to our Lord Jesus.
He is not assessing you. He is your friend.
Speak with Him directly from your heart.
5. Receive Divine Mercy
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday.
Do not carry guilt.
Come to our Jesus and be filled with His Mercy!!.
The same sweet Jesus who helped you yesterday, last year, will come through again!!
