Today is the 52nd Sunday of the last Sunday of the year.
Our students must have had a lot of things they wanted to do while thinking about their New Year's resolutions on January 1st, but I think it will be sad and regrettable that one year has passed since they couldn't do it.
What do you miss most about the things your students did not do?
Couldn't it have been more fun?
Have you not slept any more?
Did you not eat more?
Or did you not study further?
There must be many things, but I think the most regretful thing is that our students in the middle and high schools of the Western Church cannot pray to God more and live according to God's word.
It is the most regrettable thing when you can't remember what I did for my friends who were having a difficult and difficult school life because I didn't have enough material or because I didn't have friends, or how I comforted them and how much I prayed for them.
In order for us to love others, we must first overflow with love, gratitude, and joy in our hearts.
In fact, there is no love, joy, or gratitude in my heart, and I cannot love and care for myself, and I cannot love and think of others.
Did you see the video today?
What did our students feel?
Did I even think that I could overcome it and live like that?
Perhaps, if you were a normal person, seeing your own change, you would have suffered from depression and lived without going out, or, in severe cases, would have committed suicide.
As we saw in the video, how hard, painful, and painful must you have been?
When a beautiful and pretty face changed like that, it would have been incredible and I would have wanted to die.
What was it that covered the pain and the wounds, comforted you, gave you hope, and lifted you up?
Is it people's comfort?
Are these beautiful memories and photos from the past?
no.
It is only God's love.
So, you can accept the difficult situation you face with joy and live with love and gratitude.
Otherwise, if you depend on people, money, and worldly things, you will be able to overcome and live for a while, but you will sit down after a while.
Our students must have had happy things during the year, and there must have been many difficult and difficult things physically and mentally.
I think there are some people who are still in that difficult and difficult situation.
Let go of all the difficult and difficult conditions and go today.
Today, I pray and ask in front of the cross of Jesus, and I hope you lay everything down before the Lord and leave.
So, I hope you are planning and preparing for a happy and hopeful new year.
I hope you are well prepared for school.
I hope you are well prepared for high school and university and study hard during this vacation.
And as a people who believe in God, I hope that next year we will pray more, love more, and live more sharing.
That's the most important thing.
I hope you will reach out to your friends who are struggling at school, in your classroom, or around you, to embrace and comfort them.
So, please come to God's temple together.
I hope you live with gratitude, joy, and love.
