Just had a wonderful and inspiring time with the Filipino community of Gereja Redemptor Mundi. More than just sharing food during dinner, we had a great time listening to each other's stories which are actually reflections for this coming sunday's Gospel. Why worry? God's grace is just around the corner waiting for us to seize and grab it. The problem with other people is that they sometimes expect a lot of things, expecting God to give them what they want, without realizing that God's answer is just in front of them, giving them what they need more than merely satisfying their wants.
God's presence is very much alive here in Surabaya. It is a place where people of all faiths pray almost the whole day. It is not surprising therefore to feel closer to God when you are here hearing both Muslims and Christians praying at the same time. It's wonderful to note that it is only here where I find the adoration chapel or "adorasi" ALWAYS having visitors almost 24 hours a day (we can monitor it by the way in the CCTV).
