REUNITED
“Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.” – Luke 15:6
Babita’s biggest nightmare came true: her five-year-old daughter, Suhani, was missing.
She left her alone at home because she went to visit a nearby hospital while her husband, a vegetable vendor, had already gone to the market early that morning. Together with her husband, they looked for Suhani but she was nowhere to be found. Later, they went to the police station to report the missing child. The police informed them that their child was in
the safe custody of Childline. A good Samaritan noticed their
frightened-looking daughter around 12 noon. He took her in his custody
before
he handed her over to the police. After seven agonizing hours of frantic
searching, the child was reunited with her parents.
Just like the parents of Suhani, God searches for those who are lost.
And He never stops until He finds them and brings them back to His fold.
Each person is valuable to the Lord. No matter how far deep you are in
your sins, He continues to love, search and woo you. And when He finally
finds you, He rejoices together with His angels and saints. Judith Concepcion (svp_jmc@yahoo.com)
Reflection: Has someone lost his or her way because of your own doing? What should you do to bring that person back to the right path?
Teach me Your ways, Lord, that I may lead others to You.
St. Didacus, pray for us.
