Anbyiam reflection for the month of August
2017
Scripture Reading: Mt. 14:22-33
This passage speaks about Jesus walking on
the water and Peter sinking into the water. There is a very strong faith Jesus
has in His Father, while Peter could not believe that he is actually walking on
the water. When he doubted about his faith in Jesus he sinks into the water and
then cries for help. Jesus calls him man of little faith.
Reflection:
when storms of life approach us, how do we react? Like Peter or
Jesus?
When realities of life engulf us, do we sink?
Do we Cry for help? Have absolute faith in God? Rely upon our own strength
which sometimes coming from our own selfishness?
Do we really face the difficult, unethical
and negative approach or Do we rely on God's abundance of grace that flows from
the kind and compassionate heart of the Father and the Son?
It has been 11 years, since we found DTC. How
does DTC help you to understand our culture and deepen your faith? What do you
expect from DTC? How can you support DTC to grow strong in unity, and build a
faith-filled community? How much can you involve in our community-building:
when meet new family approach them warmly and make them feel at home with our community.
I have a feeling that new members are left with their own family during
fellowship. I would appreciate if old member could greet them sit with them
make them feel comfortable instead of having your own small groups. This is a
concrete step for building our community.
On 1st September, we will start our
annual celebration of novena and conclude on 9th.
Give you suggestions to our leadership team
God bless you
Fr. Peter
