ARE YOU A FAN OR A FRIEND?
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” – Luke 8:21
I must confess that I was a Bo Sanchez fanatic years ago.
I would buy all his books, recorded teachings and anything that would remind me of him.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have any romantic feelings for him, neither
am I his stalker. He just inspires me to be a better person. And I was
just a fan... that’s all. Bo has played a vital role in my healing and
life direction. He has shown me that I have the power to change and
become the person God wants me to be.
Through the years of being a fan, I eventually became his friend. Now I
serve as a missionary for the Light of Jesus Family, the community that
he founded.
Today, Jesus reminds us that His true family and friends are the ones
who obey the will of God. Yes, I have become a friend of Bo, but most of
all, through him I have realized that I am a friend of God. JC Libiran (jclibiran@ymail.com)
Reflection: Are you a fan or a friend of God?
Jesus, today I celebrate our friendship.
St. Pacifico of San Severino, pray for us.
