Delivered by Fiona from the Parish of Mary Queen of Rosary in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Titus 2: 1-8.11-14; Rs psalm 37: 3-4.18.23.27.29; Luke 17: 7-10.WISE ADVICE The theme for our meditation today is: Wise Advice.Saint Leo the Great was a defender of the Church in his time when he was a Popeand doctor of the Church. He was born into an Italian aristocratic family andhad all the opportunities to study until he became a great scholar inscripture, theology, writing and preaching. As a Pope, he convoked the Councilof Chalcedon to strengthen the Church and fight against heresies such asNestorians, Manichaeism and Pelagianism. What Pope Leo did was a wise move with purpose tosolve problems in the Church in a gentle, peaceful, and just manner. The meansor step taken in resolving conflicts and tensions, which avoid violence or anyform of persecution, among many ways, is through a wise advice given or offered.Although it may happen that certain advices or admonitions are felt sharp andharsh, we are always encouraged to consider the value of their wisdom that canbenefit us more than expected. But not many people choose to use gentle and lovelymeans to resolve the problems or conflicts they face. They are more likely tochoose the ways that can give immediate solution through fast, assertive andviolent approach. They may feel excited for the solution taken but this onlylasts for a moment, or even can make things worse. Therefore, when we aredirected and encouraged to use wise advice and counsel, this is truly the rightchoice. And when we receive a pure and sacred advice, we should take it withlove and obedience. Saint Paul in his letter to Titus in the firstreading, gives us a comprehensive list of wise advices for each and everymember of our respective families. To the elderly, adult men and women, youngpeople, children, he gives a common advice which is to live in the grace ofGod. This grace educates us to leave behind all wickedness and worldly desires,so that we become wise, justified, and diligent in our worships. This is to becomplemented by living in true optimism and hope, and we believe that the perfectgift from the Almighty Lord will be ready for us. In that hope and waiting, the Lord Jesus gives us apiece of sacred advice, namely that we carry out our duties andresponsibilities wholeheartedly according to our respective authority andobligation. We just do it with sincerity and humility, and do not assume thatwe are great or successful. A humble person will always say in his or herheart: "I am just a useless servant, because I only do what is requiredfrom me". In this disposition, God accepts, enriches and blesses him orher.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus, fill us with the spirit ofperseverance and responsibility to fulfill our duties in humility andsincerity. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In thename of the Father ...
