2nd Week of Easter, Monday, 12-04-2021

Acts 4:23-31 / John 3:1-8      

Trust is indeed a very precious thing. 

But before we can talk about trusting others, we need to look at ourselves first.

To begin with, we can't even really trust ourselves, because we can't deny we make mistakes.

We can mistake salt for sugar and vice versa. We have made judgements that are wrong, and said things that caused misunderstanding.

So we are not even so sure of ourselves and hence it can be difficult to trust others. Or we may trust them but up to a certain extent.

But if we can't really trust people whom we can see, then can we really trust God whom we can't see.

The Responsorial Psalm has this response: Blessed are they who put their trust in God.

We may not be able to see God physically, but we know that He is faithful in His love for us and hence we must trust Him especially in difficult times. 

In the 1st reading, we heard that the early Church suffered persecution, but they prayed and they were given signs of God's protection.

May we too trust in God and He will give us the sign to affirm us.
