Another Role of a Servant
By Rev. Phairat Sriprasert : Secretary General
St. Paul has mentioned about the role of a Christian. We as followers of Christ sitting in this Church seem to be of something more, because we all are working the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Thailand. This means that we have special duties, i.e. we are special instruments in the propagation of good news to our Christian brothers and sisters whether it be publication, book or activities within the local Church structure. It is similar to what St. Paul had earlier performed, i.e. announcing good news to those who did not know Christ and living one's life for Christ.
While each of us has his or her own responsibility, whether one is a father, mother, child, whose role is never contradictory, but on the contrary, if we perform our role well, it is paramount to being a good evangelizer, making the work under our responsibility more credible.
Often times we hear that Jesus talks about fasting. In fact, fasting is an important means for us to overcome ourselves in order to come closer to God and being closer to God makes us more conducive to receiving graces for our daily living. Holy Mother Church gave strong attachment to fasting since the time of the Old Testament, wearing sack clothes, sitting on ashes, food abstinence, etc., as repentance for our wrongdoing and at the same time training us to overcome our internal sinful desires and inclination.
The various means by which the word of God tells us are not easy and it does not mean that we do it right away and we are able to conquer all our sinful habits. Time is required to slowly curb down our bad inclination and overcome our defects. I believe that the word of the Gospel that we hear every Sunday or every day will make us feel closer to God through an attempt to overcome our defective behavior. Once we have achieved it we will be one of the happiest individuals even in this world.
