Delivered by Enge Kristina from the Congregation Community of Aloysius Gonzaga in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 1 John 1: 1-4; Rs psalm 97: 1-2.5-6.11-12; John 20: 2-8.DEEP AND ENDLESS LOVE The title for ourmeditation today is: Deep and Endless Love. Today we celebrate the feast ofSaint John, the apostle and the author of the fourth Gospel. The Gospels tellus that John was the younger brother of the apostle James and Jesus called bothof them when they were with their father Zebedee at the Lake of Galilee. Johnalways appeared together with two other important apostles Peter and James to accompanyJesus in his public works. As we are still inthe spirit of Christmas, besides we are introduced to the profile of the crossas the way to participate in Christ and to achieve glory, we also are taught toobtain the glory of God's kingdom through a deep and unending love that wepractice. We can say that the true love is really associated with Saint Johnthe apostle. The very reason for this is that the gospel he wrote containsprofound teachings on love. For example, the teachings on the bread of life andthe good shepherd, for us are the teachings with much and profoundsingnificance on the love of God. Another reason theGospel of today shows is that John is the first of the apostles and disciplesof Jesus who understood and believed in Jesus' resurrection. His love for Jesuswas so deep that even under difficult and uncertain circumstances his understandingand faith in God never diminished. The particularity of the apostle John isrevealed in the Fourth Gospel that this apostle is the most loved by JesusChrist. This is a very strong and meaningful caracter, because he himself wroteit in his Gospel. A more acceptableopinion is that with a person who is mostly loved by the Lord but whose properidentity is not explained, it is intended to signify all the followers ofChrist: whether apostles or disciples, male or female, whether young and adult,whether educated or uneducated, whether parents or children, these areindividuals who are loved by the Lord. This means, I am personally loved by Jesus.You are also loved by Jesus personally. He also personally receives love from Jesus.Everyone basically has the right to be loved by the almighty God. It is truly wonderfulto experience the love of God given to every one of us: poured out perfectly,endures forever, and an unconditional one. The important thing is that lovecomes into your personal life and mine. When every one in every consciousnessrecognizes being loved in this manner, he or she is actually experiencing the truelove. In this Christmas season, may we be ready to receive that love from Godmore than usual, precisely at the moment with Jesus and the family of Nazarethwho live in the fullness of the love of God. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O most loving Jesus Christ and the family of Nazareth, we want to live inyour peaceful and joyful family moments, so grant us this grace. Glory to theFather and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Celine from the Parish of Saint Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Judges 13: 2-7.24-25a; Rs psalm 71: 3-4a.5-6ab.16-17; Luke 1: 5-25.MIRACULOUSPREPARATION Thetitle for our meditation today is: Miraculous Preparation. Preparation is themain theme of Advent. We have reflected on the great preparation as carried outby John the Baptist and Elijah. There is also a form of preparation thathighlights God's justice with the King David, the results of which aremanifested in the person of Mother Mary and Saint Joseph. Then today we areintroduced to a form of miraculous preparation, with the main characters beingManoah's wife or Samson's mother, and John the Baptist's parents, Zachariah andElizabeth. Wecall it a miraculous preparation, and not just great, because it is close to amuch more miraculous event, namely the birth of the Savior, which is already soonto come. The miraculous event in the lives of Mary and Joseph which ismanifested in the birth of Jesus Christ, certainly must be anticipated by amiraculous preparation as well. And this miraculous preparation was the birthof Samson from his mother who was barren, as well as the birth of John theBaptist from Elisabeth who was also claimed to be barren. Zakariah, Elisabeth'shusband, is also included in this circle of miracles. Ifyou dare to ask yourself, what miracle must be prepared to welcome thecelebration of the birth of Jesus Christ this year? Something magical alwaysamazes or more precisely, something new that makes us wonder. However, havingexperience a special relationship with God does not have to be big andmagnificent. Miraculous or wonderful thing doesn't have to be somethingextraordinary. Jesus Christ, who was born in simplicity, is enough to give usan idea that miracles are the experiences of finding light and answers aboutour lives in God. Someonewrote on the social media wall about her family's miraculous preparation forthis Christmas. "My youngest child, who is already a young man, over thelast years has not been able to get along and agree with us, his parents. Justthis past day he opened up and talked to us. We actually stopped at the exactplace where our child was, so that our communication could be connected, theconversation would flow, and finally a solution to our problem could bereached. May this Christmas be a very beautiful experience in our family”. Thissmall sharing is a miraculous preparation, which of course will be aligned withthe miracle of the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. We as individuals,families, and communities need to prepare miraculously or in a new way, inorder to find that harmony and unity. If there is nothing miraculous or newexperience, wouldn't the Christmas celebration be ordinary, without anything wonderful? Let us pray. In thename of the Father... O merciful God, make us individuals and families who can renewour lives through miraculous preparation for this Christmas. Glory to theFather and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Monika Kimberly from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Isaiah 48: 17-19; Rs psalm 1: 1-2.3.4.6; Matthew 11: 16-19.IN HARMONY, INCOMPANY, AND IN LINE The title for ourmeditation today is: In Harmony, In Company, and In Line. A young child wasinvited by his father to learn to walk on the trail. His father held the littleone's hand, guiding him slowly. When the child followed in his father'sfootsteps—in harmony, in company, and in line—they arrived at their destinationsafely, even enjoying the journey. But if the child withdrew, resisted, or walkedin the other direction, he might stumble or got lost. His father remainedloving, but the journey became difficult.  So is the same with God:His love always extends first. The question is, are we willing to walk withHim? When we choose to be obedient, we find that God's will always leads to joyand salvation. God presents the world and the entire journey of human life inthe rhythm of unbroken love. He provides everything in abundance: from thebreath we breathe every morning to the inner strength that strengthens oursteps in difficulty.  Scripture readingsoften show that God's love is not only a gift, but also a gentle invitation forman to live in harmony with Him. God's commandments are not burdens, but thebonds that bind man together with his source of life. When God rules with love,man is invited to respond with grateful obedience. But Jesus remindsthat there is not always harmony between God's will and man's response. He takesa very simple but touching example: the musicians blew joyful songs, but thepeople did not dance; They played a song of mourning, but no one wailed. Thispicture shows the incongruity of man's mind—as if God's tone is singing, butman's heart chooses to be silent. God speaks, but man does not hear; Godinvites, but man does not rise and walk. When there is no harmony, the trueflow of grace is hampered by the rejection or inaction of the human heart. In fact, when God'swill and man's obedience meet, a harmony will be born that brings true joy.Obedience is not a loss of freedom, but rather an adaptation to the best planthat God has prepared. When man walks in tandem and in harmony with His word,life becomes lighter. There is a sense of security in every step, because manknows he is moving in the right direction. It is there that salvation is notjust a distant promise, but an everyday experience that gives peace. Let us pray. In the name of theFather... Lord, help and enable us so that we always strive to be in line withYour will and finally achieve the salvation that You have set for us. HailMary, full of grace... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Ellyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Isaiah 30: 19-21.23-26; Rs psalm 147: 1-2.3-4.5-6; Matthew 9: 35 - 10: 1.6-8.JESUS CALLS AND GIVES US HIS POWER Our meditation today is entitled: Jesus Calls andGives Us His Power. There was a nurse who worked in the emergency room of thehospital. Every day she saw people coming with various wounds and anxieties.One night, an elderly patient went into the room with a state of panic becausethere was no family to accompany him. The nurse sat for a while, clasped thepatient's hand, and said, "I'm here, you're not alone." The sentencewas simple, but it calmed the patient down. The nurse might feel that she wasdoing only a small task, but in reality she was a "shepherd" who ispresent for a lost sheep. Through her, God speaks: "This is the way,follow this way—the way of mercy."  In today's Gospel, we see Jesus looking at the crowdwith a heart moved by compassion. He saw them as sheep without ashepherd—tired, lost, and thirsty for hope. Jesus' view was more than sympathy;He sees man's deepest needs, and he responds with action. Jesus does not remainsilent to see the wounded world, but He is present as the True Shepherd whoguides, heals, and gives life. There was a time Jesus called His twelve disciples. Henot only chose them, but also empowered them to do the work that hadpreviously been done only by Him: healing, consoling, casting out demons, andproclaiming that the Kingdom of God was near. With this action, Jesus entrustedHis mission to the disciples. They did not walk under their own strength, butrather carried the power that came from God. This is where we see that the callis always accompanied by the instruments God graciously gives us. Jesus' call in the days of the apostles continues tothis day. Every believer, regardless of profession, is called to be a sign ofthe presence of God's Kingdom. Some are called to be pastors in the Church,some are educators, health workers, social workers, or faithful family members.In each of those calls, Jesus gives His power: the power to love more, toendure adversity, to heal the inner wounds of others, and to be a peacemaker.We are not sent alone; It is the Holy Spirit who works through us. Often, God's call comes in seemingly so ordinarysituations. A small word, a brother's need, or a cry from an injured person canbe an invitation for us to act. Jesus calls us not because we are perfect, butbecause He wants to express His power through our limitations. Just as thedisciples were simple but sent to great work, so we are called to proclaim theface of God in the midst of the world: to bring hope, to bring joy, and to healthe wounded.Let us pray. In the name of the Father ... O Almighty God,fill us with the power of Your Spirit and enable us to do Your will as JesusChrist, our Lord and Teacher, has done. Glory to the Father and to the Son andto the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Nia from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Daniel 5: 1-6.13-14.16-17.23-28; Rs psalm: Add Dan 3: 662.63.64.65.66.67; Luke 21: 12-19.THE WHOLE PERSON OFHUMAN BEING IS SAVED Our meditation today isentitled: The Whole Person of Human Being is Saved. The book of Daniel as ourfirst reading today depicts the king of Belshazzar and his guests who werehaving a party and looking up something that scared them. They saw the words ofGod revealed so provocatively, that was the vision of a mysterious hand writingof God's word on the wall (Daniel 5.5f). Then the king was very curious aboutthe meaning of those words on the wall. He asked the young man Daniel toexplain it. The Lord also writesvarious kinds of His word for us on this world through the writings of His chosenmessengers. They had written the word of God on scrolls made from wood skins,which were later renewed into the scriptures we have now. The word of God, inthe process of its writing, was written in an extraordinary and even rathercontroversial way. Furthermore, the word grows so wonderfully in the lives ofbelievers when they hear the word very well and faithfully, then proclaim it. Something differentfrom that moment when King Belshazzar read the word of God put on the wall, weinstead have the scriptures in our room or on our tables. The bibles haveoccupied their places there for some times. We often do not realize when thebible was written, how it was written, how long to write it and who wrote it. Amore serious and profound question is about the proper message and meaning of thepassages when someone reads it. Since many of us don't read enough, we toodon't understand any. If you like to read,you can find some messages in it. If you have been reading it so much but youremain don't understand any, it is just a common experience for most of us.Just keep reading it. From here comes curiosity. Because if people have never ordo not like to read it, of course there is no curiosity either. The king givesus an example, that we really need to have curiosity and ask questions aboutthe word of God. The disciples and apostles of Jesus also always asked theMaster, the message and meaning of God's word. In our liturgical readings of theserecent days, questions that are commonly asked are about the end times and Jesusis the one who gives firm and definite answer. In today's Gospel reading,Jesus' answer is even more emphatic, namely the price of the end times that is veryexpensive for every follower. That price is the self-sacrifice that the LordJesus has made as an example for us. He is our true Teacher who teaches byexample. A single hair costs the same as one's entire being. The whole personis so expensive and important to be saved. Eventhough we might endure all formsof hardship, suffering and persecution, every part of our whole being isdestined to be saved.  Let's pray. In the name of the Father... Almighty God, put in everyone of us curiosity to Your every word andaction. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In thename of the Father ...

Delivered by Melinda and Celine from the Parish of Saint Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 2 Samuel 5: 1-3; Rs psalm 122: 1-2.4-5; Colossians 1: 12-20; Luke 23: 35-43.THREE GIFTS FORCHRIST THE KING  The title for ourmeditation on this Sunday, Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of theUniverse is: Three Gifts for Christ the King. We end our liturgical year C witha great celebration, which is the solemnity of Christ as king of the wholeuniverse. He is our King too. A king who is glorified and honored at his very solemnmoment, he must be seen in his palace and sits on his throne. Every one comesfrom all over the kingdom to worship and give thanks. Visitors do not forget tobring gifts or souvenirs for the king. This is a commonpractice in the world in terms of honoring a king. For the Lord Jesus Christ asking, one might ask: where do we go to visit and give our gifts as signs of ourhonor to Him? For sure, in this world Jesus has no palace and throne. He has nosoldiers and staff surrounding him in the palace. Our gospel of todayillustrates that the palace and throne of Jesus are the Golgotha ​​Hill and thecross on which he hangs, in the midst of blasphemies and torments come from hisenemies. We, the members ofthe Kingdom of Jesus Christ must have the proper attitude of faith, so we cancome to visit our King without shame, hurt, and anger. On the contrary, we mustcome to pay our homage with an attitude of joy and gratitude. Why? Because Christthe King is very different from the kings of this world, which are the same asKing David, who will disappear one day with all his authority and glory. Christthe King reigns in the world and in heaven. In heaven lies His palace andthrone. His kingdom is the kingdom of Light.  By looking at thecrucified Christ the King, the gifts we should give to Him should be our faith,love and hope. Leaders should be teachers of the faith, but they actuallyinsulted and cursed Jesus on the cross. We must offer true faith to our King,because in and through Him our faith in God grows and bears fruits. We believein the truth that Jesus Christ suffered greatly under the power of PontiusPilate, was crucified, died and was buried. We believe that His throne in theworld is the Cross and his disciple we embrace that Cross as our strength. The soldiersarrogantly insulted Himself as king. They are like those who have no love,though their lives are entirely as servants and helpers, but they really do nothave love in treating Jesus Christ. We must treat Jesus Christ with true love,namely through our self-denial in following the way of His cross. A criminalconvicted with Jesus joined in insulting Jesus, and this reflects how sinnersand marginal people expect salvation through the actions of Jesus Christ. Wealso have that hope, that is, we die with Christ and rise again with Him.Let's pray. In the name of theFather... O Lord Jesus, our King, strengthen us on the path of Your way of theCross until we reach salvation. May we do not lose hope of that salvation. OurFather who art in heaven... In the name of the Father...

Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 1 Maccabees 2: 15-29; Rs psalm 50: 1-2.5-6.14-15; Luke 19: 41-44.THE HOUSE OF GODTHAT IS DESTROYED  Today's meditation is entitled: The House of God thatis Destroyed. There was a recent flood disaster that hit a village inhabited byCatholics. There stands a parish church which was built with community'sself-funded funds about ten years ago. Half of the church building wasdestroyed by the floods, along with much damage to the village. What standsfirm and is not affected by anything is the bell tower on which there is across. Every parishioner and visitor who saw the condition ofthe badly damaged church building showed sadness and shared in the grieftogether. They reminisced about the times when they worked together to buildit. They remember the wonderful times when they worshipped together ingratitude and the warmth of faith among the priest and his people. They notedthat there have been so many sacramental celebrations performed in the church.  We all understand that the church is a place where Goddwells. In His public ministry, Jesus Christ sanctified every place He enteredand visited. The temple is no longer centered in one place, but is in JesusChrist who moves, walks, and reaches every home and person of those who welcomeHim. Jesus brought His own temple to sanctify all who came to or encountered. The worship and purification of God's house is clearlydemonstrated by Mattathias and his Jewish sons, as narrated in today's firstreading. King Antiochus Epiphanes forced the Jews to abandon their worship ofthe Lord God, and to follow the idolatry of the pagans. Mattathias and hisgroup resisted the imposition of the will vigorously, that following the king'swill meant destruction, while following the Lord God meant salvation. Jesus himself fell in pity and became very sad aboutthe holy place, the house of God in Jerusalem which was full of stains of sinbecause of the actions of the religious leaders and the unbelievers in a trueand sincere way. As a result of the desecration, the house will be destroyed tothe ground. In fact, God was foretelling that the kingdom of this world,represented by the magnificent Jerusalem, will in due time be destroyed. Thishappened around 71 AD, Jerusalem was really destroyed by the invaders, namelythe Romans.  Later in the course of time and up to this moment,earthly Jerusalem has never lived in peace and joy. This picture is verysuitable for comparison with every person of believers who is afflicted withsin and iniquity. Destruction and damage are coming soon. God weeps over oursinful condition. We should be aware of that and we should immediately turn toGod and become again His beloved children. Let us pray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving Lord,accept our confession of lack of faithfulness to You and forgive our sins.Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... In the name of theFather ...

Delivered by Enge Kristina from the Parish of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indoensia. 2 Maccabees 7: 1.20-31; Rs psalm 17: 1.5-6.8b.15; Luke 19: 11-28.A WAY TODEFEAT TERRORISM The title for ourmeditation today is: A Way to Defeat Terrorism. Within a WhatsApp group ofyoung people, there was an interesting discussion about crimes and evilsagainst members of the Church. There have been many bishops, priests andreligious who have offered their lives for the sake of Christ and the Gospel.There have been many lay people, families, youth and children who havesacrificed their lives just because they are Christians and members of theChurch. In general, thatdiscussion provoked feelings of fear, vigilance and anger at those crimesbefell the Christians. However, at the end of discussion, they had an agreementthat the crime basically had happened to Jesus Christ with the suffering withthe cross which was very shameful. Jesus himself promised to His followers, allof us members of the Church, that we will face various kinds of evil andsuffering. In short, the Church really experiences martyrdom as part of ourjourney of faith. In manyinstances, such cruel treatment to the members of the Church everywhere in theworld can be classified as terrorism. Today's first reading from the secondbook of Maccabees describes the brutality of terrorism. The King Antiochus Epiphanesand his men killed seven Jewish brothers: skinning their heads, decapitatingthem, frying them one by one, while other boys and their mother were forced towatch. The mother was forced to persuade children who were still alive to renouncefaith in God, or eliminate the sacred traditions of the ancestors. However, theirreaction to fight back with spiritual terrorism was stronger. They depended onthe faith in God and holy traditions to defeat the power of the king. Childrenwho were persuaded to abandon their true faith were killed as martyrs, yet theywere victorious in the power of God. Finally, the mother was also martyred. Thetrue faith of the family was so strong and had defeated the cruelty of theterrorists. Until now, there has been only way that the Church uses to fightterrorism is to remain in true faith even to the point of death. The experienceof martyrdom as described above is for us the way to increase our faith anddevelop in spiritual life. We are proud and happy as members of the Church forwe have been raised and strengthened by the blood of martyrs. We might notexperience as cruel treatment as they were in the past. But our big challenge nowis to remain and be filled in this faith. Our justification is to live in thisfaith properly and have its fruitful impact. The servants who multipliedtalents given to them, as described in the passage of the Gospel today can be theexample for us to be responsible in our faith. By taking responsibility for ourfaith when we are still on earth, we will easily be accountable for it in thehereafter. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... A generousFather, strengthen us to be able to resist fear, discouragement and escape, butthrough the power of the Holy Spirit may we become your children to remainresponsible to do your will. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name ofthe Father ...

Delivered by Melinda from the Church of Saint Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 2 Maccabees 6: 18-31; Rs psalm 3: 2-3.4-5.6-7; Luke 19: 1-10.GOD COMES INTOOUR HEARTS AND HOUSES Our meditationtoday is the entitled: God Comes into Our Hearts and Houses. Many peopleacknowledge that phone calls to personal cell phones that only appear innumbers but have no photo identity and name are better ignored. A common reasongiven is that the caller is a stranger. There are various prejudices that areimposed on strangers, for example callers who have no identity, guests whosuddenly arrive without prior notice, and people who get lost and come to us. Let us imaginefor a moment, if the stranger happened to be the Lord Jesus. Our reaction mightbe the same as we did with other strangers. But because the Lord Jesus wants tobring good news to us, He certainly gives some special signs, so that we canknow him. As happened with Zacchaeus, the Lord was the first to give thesignal. The sign began with news of him entering the city and walking throughthe city. Furthermore, through all his movements, greetings and words, peoplebecame interested and began to come to him. He toldZacchaeus in the city of Jericho that he would come to the house of that richtax collector and great sinner. Once he came there, both the person of thesinner and his home were sanctified. There was salvation happening in the lifeof Zacchaeus. Mary was visited by the Holy Spirit and made her Mother of God.We are also visited by divine grace through our birth on earth, towards a newbirth in faith when we were baptized in the house of God, the Church. It is thefamily, culture and society all together offer a human child to God. Through thatbaptism, we ourselves become the legitimate house of God. Our families fromevery house that each of us belong to, come together to make the house of God.Every person and families are then bound to the Church which is a communion ofone body with Jesus Christ as the head. Every time we gather and worship God inthe Church, it is a moment of communion of a whole, one, and universal house ofGod. After that worshiping moment, we return to our respective houses with alldaily routines always in that sense of the community of believers. If we fallinto sins for a variety of reasons, both grave and venial, many or few, thecommunion of the Church becomes disrupted and even injured. Jesus must havepity on us and put His power to improve this by visiting both ourselves and ourfamilies. The important thing is we are open and accept Him coming intoourselves and our families. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... Lord Jesus,come and stay in me, and fill me with your peace, your presence and allgoodness. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In thename of the Father ...

Delivered by Celine from the Parish of Santo Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Wisdom 18: 14-16; 19: 6-9; Rs psalm 105: 2-3.36-37.42-43; Luke 18: 1-8.GOD ACTS QUICKLY ANDRIGHTLY The title for ourmeditation today is: God Acts Quickly and Rightly. A 6-year-old girl often accompaniedher mother to shop at the market. She notices that her mother always requestsfor discount to the things being bought. What a surprise! She asks for discountmore than half of the price. When the seller objects the discounted price, themother always says: "Sorry, we have nothing, we are very poor." On one occasion thegirl used her small savings to buy something at the shop nearby. She alsowanted to ask for dicount imitating what her mother usually does. Before sayingwhat she wanted to buy, she first said to the shop owner, "Sorry, we havenothing, we are very poor." Then she showed the item she was about to buy.The shop owner took the item and gave it to the little girl for free. In this life we seemeetings between the small and big ones, poor and rich, master and servants,powerful and powerless. The screams and cries of the poor or little ones alwaysattract attention. They shout either directly to certain people who immediatelygive attentions, or openly to the public and it's up to anyone who would payattention to them. Their screams and cries can only stop after their requestsare answered or attended. God has compassionfor these people. God acts quickly and becomes their savior at the right time.They are the people who do not have supporters, defenders and protectors. Theparable of the widow and her case to be solved by the lawyer in today's gospelpassage is an example of how the divine assistance comes at the very time manreally needs. In the scriptures there are many similar examples that show God'shelps come quickly and rightly. Many of us have everexpereinced God's helps comes quickly and rightly. Some people admit that theirprayers have not been answered. Therefore, they tend to view God is not yet intheir side. Some are patient enough to wait for an answer at the right time.Some have given up because they already waited for a long time, then theybecome passive and apathetic. Some even are emotionally driven by anger orhostile towards God because they are frustrated knowing no sign of the Lord'sfavor for them. It maybe true thatthe time is not yet right. Why? Because God is using our neighbors to be thehelpers. For sure, our immediate helps should come from there. The helpsactually come from God himself, who uses neighbors who are near to us. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, we pray and we hope for the security and worthiness of our brothersand sisters who are so helpless and distress; may they find your favor andaccept all helps with gratitude. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to theHoly Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Nia from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Ephesians 2: 19-22; Rs psalm 19: 2-3.4-5; Luke 6: 12-19.WAR AGAINST TERROR Our meditation todayis entitled: War Against Terror. Our world today and all mankind know andunderstand about terrorism. Particularly in Indonesia, the threat of terrorismis insistent and evident, and it happens almost every year. One person or groupof terror can be overcome by the government and law enforcers, but anotherperson or group comes in. The threat is so serious that the government and allthe citizens have to work together to fight it. Our Church has obligationto fight against terrorism today with much greater spiritual power, done by allher members. The Church does this with Jesus. He had done it in His publicservice in the world. On one special occasion he chose Simon the Zealot andJudas, along with ten other apostles to form an elite community of strong andfaithful men to be his “army”. Today the whole Church celebrates the feast ofthe apostles Simon and Judas who are from this community. The word"Zealot" means terrorist. This Simon came from a rebel group whofought against the Roman colonials. They were known by the name Zealots, in theGreek language named Kana'im, that means the jealousy of God. They did not wanttheir God to be disturbed by other groups. Jesus must choose strong and trustedpeople to be with Him in the war against all forms of evil in this world. Those12 apostles are the strong pillars for the foundation of the Church. Before meeting Jesus,Saint Paul often acted like a terrorist. According to the Acts of the Apostles,he pursued, arrested and sent to prison men and women who followed Christ. Heeven said this: I really acted wildly burning with anger towards Christians,whom I chased even to cities in foreign lands (Acts 26,11). The group thatspreads terror, nowadays known as the radicals, brings fear all over the world.Are we sure that Jesus has the power to change the hardest hearts of theterrorists? Jesus changed Saint Simon and Saint Paul, and to this day Heremains the same God who can change the hearts of terrorists. They not onlychanged their hearts and direction of life, but they also are made so useful asthe foundation for the building up of the Church, the house and community ofGod's people where every and all believers included. Saints Simon, Judas andPaul are now “generals” in the kingdom of God, to protect and care for ourChurch. Jesus overcomesterrorists with love. We all use the same love to overcome the terrors of eviland darkness in our community of faith. But we must be with Christ. Withouthim, we do nothing. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... Lord Jesus, our good and wise teacher, make us Your soldiers to fight andsacrifice ourselves to defeat the evils that threaten Your Church. Glory to theFather and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Dalam episode podcast kali ini, kita mengundang tamu spesial, Yuliana, seorang praktisi parenting asal Surabaya yang dikenal karena pendekatan realistis dan penuh kehangatan dalam mendidik anak. Topik ini bukan tentang teori melainkan bagaimana sebenarnya cara membesarkan anak yang percaya diri tanpa kehilangan ketulusan, kedisiplinan, dan kasih sayang.Melalui episode ini, Yuliana membongkar mitos-mitos seputar pola asuh modern, seperti "tidak boleh marah" sampai "gentle parenting" yang sering disalahartikan. Ia menegaskan bahwa menjadi orang tua bukan berarti harus sempurna, melainkan sadar dan tumbuh bersama anak. Melalui contoh nyata dan refleksi pribadi, kita diajak menyadari bahwa marah pun bisa menjadi bagian sehat dari komunikasi, asalkan dilakukan dengan kesadaran dan kasih.Selain itu, episode ini juga membahas mengenai konsep Forte Communication, sebuah metode komunikasi berbasis kekuatan (strength-based communication) yang membantu orang tua memahami karakter unik setiap anak. Dengan cara ini, teguran tidak lagi terasa seperti hukuman tetapi menjadi ruang belajar bersama. Yuliana juga membagikan tips praktis seperti metode Yes–No–Yes, cara menanamkan disiplin tanpa teriakan, serta bagaimana menghadapi anak yang lebih nyaman di dunia digital daripada dunia nyata.Pembahasan tidak berhenti tentang anak saja. Pembahasan ini juga menyoroti pentingnya kerja sama antara ayah dan ibu sebagai sebuah tim dalam mendidik anak, saling bergantian peran antara good cop dan bad cop, dan menyadari bahwa keluarga yang sehat dibangun dari komunikasi yang setara dan penuh empati. Di sini, parenting bukan lagi tanggung jawab satu pihak, tapi perjalanan spiritual dua orang dewasa yang memilih untuk terus belajar.

Delivered by Celine and Melinda from the Parish of Saint Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Exodus 17: 8-13; Rs psalm 121: 1-2.3-4.5-6.7-8; 2 Timothy 3: 14 - 4: 2; Luke 18: 1-8.GOD'S WILL THAT HAPPENS The title for ourmeditation on this 29th Sunday in ordinary time is: God's Will That Happens. Prayeris the means by which we are always in contact with God. Our prayers are alwaysin the form of activities such as saying or expressing words, singing praises,doing meditation or contemplation, writing expressions of the heart, and makingcertain body movements. We always direct ourprayers to God. All our prayers arrive at the final destination in God. Thereis no further destination or place for all our prayers to arrive except to findGod and to remain in him. Once a mother explained to her son, that in God thereis a place that is so big and will never be full, although from the beginning allprayers and requests have been sending from the world to God. We pray day andnight and every time, but we have never heard or read from the scriptures thatthe place in heaven is full and can not afford anymore to load our prayers. When we pray, that's themoment our prayers reach God. Saint Bernard, in his reflection and prayer,believes strongly that our prayers go directly to God. There are no obstaclesor a long and complicated journey that make our prayers delay or lost the wayto God. What maybe often becomes our question is whether our prayers areanswered in accordance to what we want or not. Usually what we wantis a quick answer that benefits us. It is here when temptation comes.  We are tempted when our desires and requestsare not yet answered. As we keep strongly our own will and demand God to followour way, this is precisely where our main weakness stands. This means that welose sight of another side the true attitude in prayer which is we must dependon God's will. We must trust in God's loving care and divine providence. So the importantmessage for us is: we express our own desires and requests through prayers, butwe leave it to God who wills to make it happen. Our duty is to pray and continueto pray. Even though we often do not stop begging and never give up, thisremains as our duty to pray to the Lord. God's duty is to listen and answer us.Sooner or later God will answer us for His time is perfect and we are simplyblessed to have all the love that we need in life. This is the will of God thathappens. We have learned infaith that God's goodness and mercy to answer our prayers is our basic truth.God never lies and never fails in His fidelity and mercy. Saint Paul's advicewould be a guide for us: we must hold on to the truth that we have received andwe believe. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O heavenly Father, may this Sunday celebration of the holy Euchariststrengthen our faith in You and sustain our love towards our neigbours. HailMary, full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Pemerintah menegaskan tak akan menggunakan APBN untuk menalangi utang proyek Kereta Cepat Indonesia China (KCIC) atau Whoosh. Menteri Keuangan Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa menyebut Danantara—sebagai pengelola badan investasi BUMN—harus mampu menyelesaikan masalahnya sendiri. Dengan dividen sekitar Rp80 triliun per tahun, tak ada alasan meminta dana negara.Persoalan ini menjadi ujian besar skema business to business yang sejak awal dipilih untuk proyek KCIC. Namun perhitungan ekonomi yang tidak sesuai ekspektasi, biaya pinjaman jangka panjang dari Bank of China, dan harga tiket di bawah keekonomian membuat proyek ini masuk dalam titik kritis.Apakah solusi terbaik dengan memperpanjang rute hingga Surabaya? Bagaimana strategi pemerintah dan DPR menghadapi situasi ini?

In this Week 39 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we unpack the latest ship-recycling market trends, freight dynamics, currency and steel movements, and key regional updates from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey. This week's theme: Disconnect. Global Market Overview Dry bulk freight turned volatile: Baltic Dry Index ended the week with a net 2.5 % gain, driven by Capesize strength of about 5.5 %, even as daily readings slipped late in the week. Oil softened: WTI crude fell 1 % to around USD 65 per barrel, pressured by Kurdistan resuming crude exports after 2.5 years. Currencies weakened: Indian rupee dropped to INR 88.62, Bangladesh taka to BDT 122.04, and Turkish lira to TRY 41.58; only the Pakistani rupee strengthened, to PKR 282.50. Steel plate prices mostly flatlined, except India slid USD 15 to USD 409.20 per ton, weighing on sentiment. Bangladesh Chattogram stayed the quietest sub-continent market. Recycled steel failed to move, and larger LDT tonnage kept diverting to competitors. The taka closed at BDT 122.04, while 18 yards are HKC-compliant with more approvals expected next month. India Alang faced a tough week. The rupee weakened to INR 88.62, briefly near 89, and steel prices dropped to USD 409.20 per ton. Some speculative deals, like the 4,810 LDT container Niigata Trader at USD 480/LT LDT, look stretched as fundamentals deteriorate. Ongoing U.S. tariffs and sanctions continue to cloud Q4 prospects. Pakistan Gadani brightened the regional picture. Several bulkers changed hands, including Rising Harrier at USD 445/LT LDT and Puteri Kirana at USD 390/LT LDT (“as is” Surabaya). Strong local steel prices and a PKR strengthening to 282.50 support momentum, even as HKC compliance work continues. Turkey Activity remained subdued. The lira slipped to TRY 41.58, and local steel prices edged lower, keeping sentiment soft. Beach Breakdown With freight rates mixed and steel prices uneven, regional ship-recycling markets show a clear disconnect between fundamentals and bidding.

Delivered by Nia from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 1 Timothy 1: 1-2.12-14; Rs psalm 16: 1.2a.5.7-8.11; Luke 6: 39-42.THE MOST IMPORTANT TREASURE Our meditation today is entitled: TheMost Important Treasure. When we understand the most beautiful treasure, suchas gold or diamond, we can immediately compare it to treasures of lesser value.There are so many of them. If we possess that most beautiful and expensivetreasure, we would likely not desire other lesser treasures. Gold is a symbol of supreme value andfitting to be placed on the same thought when we think about the glory of God.The purpose of today's theme of our reflection is that all of the past, wrappedin sin, are to be removed, as Saint Paul says in his letter to Timothy. His oldlife as a blasphemer and traitor of faith, totally left behind. By receivingGod's grace, he gains the most important treasure, namely Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the golden of theglory of God who enters our lives. Like Saint Paul, by throwing away all thatis old, nothing lost that we would experience. On the contrary, we obtain gold,our very valuable treasure. Jesus is so firm and constantly says that ifsomeone who does not let go everything, including those he loves most even tohimself, he is not worthy of being His disciple. The firmness of Jesus means that aperson who decides to follow Him, he should make God the first and foremostBeing to be honoured and loved. Gold must remain as gold and should not beexchanged or mixed with anything other than that. God must remain the one andholy God, He must not be lower than number one or replaced with another. Whenwe put God in His true position, as well as we in ours, we actually obey thetruth of our faith. In this line, the sin that we mustavoid in our lives is hypocrisy. The characteristic of hypocrisy in this worldcan be seen in those who claim themselves of knowing everything. Or someone whohas tendency to make himself a self-righteous person and ignoring others.Basically every human being has his or her own weaknesses, beside the qualitiesor strengths they have. The most obvious consequence of thesin of hypocrisy is that the person does not have God as gold and the mostimportant treasure in his life. He only deals with hypocrisy in one thing toanother, wanting to win and satisfy himself from one opportunity to another.The focus is only on himself and he has no chance for God. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... Almighty Lord, through listening and understanding your word, may webecome your true witnesses in the world. Glory to the Father and to the Son andto the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Gabriella Natani from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Colossians 1: 15-20; Rs psalm 100: 2.3.4.5; Luke 5: 33-39.GOD IS WITH US Our meditation today is entitled: God is With Us.Jesus Christ is an invisible God but becomes manifest in human form. In Him, wesee the loving, patient, and faithful face of God. The image of God is nolonger something distant or vague, but is seen in everyday life through Jesus.  His every deed—healing the sick, forgiving sinners,feeding the hungry—is a sign of God's infinite love. In other words, whoeversees Jesus, he sees the Father (Jn 14:9). The God that appears in Christ is not just a matter ofthe physical, but of how He presents himself. Jesus' deeds reveal God's caringheart, and His words give new life. The Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus, is aguarantee that God's inclusion never ends. With His Spirit and Word, we are notleft to walk alone, but are always accompanied, strengthened, and led to thetruth. Therefore, when God is revealed in Christ, ourattitude is not to fast in the sense of experiencing spiritual drought, but tocelebrate His presence. The presence of Jesus is a life-giving joy. Like afriend who is present in our midst, it is not appropriate for us to be sad orclose off, but we should be grateful and joyful. The life of faith becomes acelebration of God's love, not a burden or emptiness. When we truly experience God in Christ, our most basicattitude is to welcome Him with an open heart. We are called to listen to Hisword, follow His example, and proclaim Him in our daily lives. The experienceof God does not stop at personal prayer alone, but must be seen in concreteactions: love for others, willingness to forgive, and willingness to serve. Thepresence of Jesus must be carried on through our lives. Let's imagine this. An old friend who suddenly came tovisit after a long separation. When he is present, we will certainly not sitdown, not say hello, or pretend not to see him. Instead, we will welcome himwarmly, make time for him, and even celebrate his presence. So it is withJesus. His presence is a moment of celebration of faith, not a time to closeour hearts. Let us, then, be worthy of God's real presence inChrist. We celebrate Him in prayer, in the Eucharist, in fraternity, and indaily ministry. Thus, we no longer live in spiritual drought, but in joy thatGod is indeed present, accompaniing, and bringing us to life through JesusChrist, the invisible God of the heavenly Father. Let us pray. In the name of the Father ... O God, kindle ourspirit of faith every time we hear Your words. Our Father who art in heaven...In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Colossians 1: 9-14; Rs psalm 98: 2-3ab.3cd-4.5-6; Luke 5: 1-11.FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT Our meditation today is entitled: From Darkness toLight. Human life is often in a tug-of-war between darkness and light. Darknessin the form of sin, bad habits, injustice, or worldly temptations can shacklepeople so that it is difficult to find true freedom.  However, in Jesus Christ, we have the promise ofdeliverance from the powers of darkness. It is He who calls man not only to seethe light, but to truly enter and live in His light. Jesus' disciples were aclear example: after witnessing His power and love, they willingly left theirboats, nets, even their jobs and families and followed Him with all theirfreedom. Deliverance from darkness does not happen solelybecause of human effort, but because of God's grace. The first step is to openthe heart to confess weakness and sin before God. When man dares to be honestwith himself and comes to Jesus with humility, he experiences the power ofliberating forgiveness. Shackled guilt is replaced by peace, and oppressivefear is replaced by joy in the grasp of God's love. However, letting go also requires courage to make adecision. Just as the disciples willingly left everything behind, man is calledto let go of the bonds of darkness freely, without burden, and without lookingback. This means a willingness to break ties with sin, abandon old lifestyles,and open oneself to the renewal of life that Christ offers. This decision isnot just to leave something, but to move towards something greater: to live ina loving relationship with God. A practical way to let go of darkness is to build adeep relationship with Jesus through prayer, His word, and fellowship of faith.As man's heart becomes more and more filled with God's word, it slowly dispelsthe darkness. In addition, concrete steps such as changing bad habits,establishing healthy communities, and channeling love to others are alsoconcrete ways to live in the kingdom of light. This process is not always easy,but with God's grace, humans are able to live it with joy. To illustrate, imagine a person who for years haslived in a habit of anger and resentment. He feels controlled by heartache, sohis life is always dark. But one day, he encountered the love of Christ throughprayer and the reading of Scripture. Slowly he decided to forgive the personwho hurt him. This decision made his heart free and peaceful, even his faceseemed brighter. This is a vivid picture of how to break free from the power ofdarkness and enter into the liberating light of Christ. Let us pray. In the name of the Father ... O goodJesus, teach us always to choose Your way to live in the light. Hail Mary, fullof grace... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Bella from the Parish of Kristus Raja in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Colossians 1: 1-8; Rs psalm 52: 10.11; Luke 4: 38-44.THE PROCLAMATION OF GOD'S WORD IS UNSTOPPABLE Our meditation today is entitled: The Proclamation ofGod's Word is Unstoppable. There is a group of young people using social mediato proclaim the word of God and the presence of God's glory. In the midst of atide of entertainment content that often takes people away from the faith, theyboldly create short videos, Scripture reflections, or simple prayers that areshared daily.  Despite the cynical comments or sneers, they don'tstop. It is precisely with perseverance and creativity that the preaching ofthe gospel reaches thousands of people who may never have been present inchurch. Obstacles in the form of scorn are turned into opportunities to furtherstrengthen their testimonies. This example of proclamation of God's word activityshows that obstacles are always present, whether in the form of limited means,rejection, or temptation to stop. But with faith, creativity, and spiritualdiscipline, the gospel finds its way. No one can stop God's word when there isa burning heart to proclaim it. Jesus himself shows us that evangelization is acalling that should not be limited by place, time, or personal comfort. Whenthe local people wanted to hold Him back, He gently refused and insisted thatHe should also go to other places. Because the proclamation of the Kingdom isnot only for a few people, but for all humans. The word of God is the news ofsalvation that must be constantly moving, not to be limited by human desires orobstacles. In our lives, there are often many obstacles that tryto stop the preaching of the gospel: fear, lack of courage, limited means, oreven rejection from others. However, Jesus' spirit affirmed that the gospelshould not be confined by such obstacles. Precisely behind every challenge, Godgives us a new way to keep witnessing. Obstacles are not excuses to stop, butrather opportunities to find creative and faith-filled ways to share His truth. Ways to overcome obstacles to preaching includebuilding strong faith through prayer, so that our hearts are not easily afraidto face rejection. In addition, the preacher must live the word of God first indaily life, so that the testimony of life becomes a gospel that is open to manypeople. Technology can also be an effective means whereby preaching can reacheven distant souls. Thus, the Gospel can continue to spread indefinitely. Let us pray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus,strengthen our faith and spirit of life as Your followers, so that we mayalways be diligent and proclaim the presence of the Kingdom of God in thisworld. Hail Mary full of grace... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Gabriella Natani from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Jeremiah 1: 17-19; Rs psalm 71: 1-2.3-4a.5-6ab.15ab.17; Mark 6: 17-29.SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND DEFENDING THEPURITY The title for our meditation today is:Speaking the Truth and Defending the Purity. In this occassion of the memorialof the death of John the Baptist, our attention is directed to the person whois steadfast and loudly making the voice of truth heard and touches the deepestlevel of humanity. He was brave and never gave up challenging the highestauthority over immoral life that they practice against the truth, sincerity andpurity. Speaking the truth and defending thepurity, both in the bond of married couples and the quality a dignified life,is a portrait of the life that John the Baptist stood for. Long before himthere was the prophet Jeremiah, who in lamentation, he told that he wasthreatened to death by his enemies. He never forgot and got away from God. He wassteadfast in the truth of God, and his mind and heart entirely devoted to Godalone. What John the Baptist and Jeremiah didwas part of the powerful message of Jesus Christ. Together with the truth ofHis teachings, is the message of purity. A pure mind and heart must be freefrom negative thinking, chaos, intimidation, discrimination, false judgement,slander, lying. So by acting and living out the truth, purity stands strong andcredible. Jesus strongly condemns the Phariseesand the scribes because their words and deeds are not connected to each other.This is caused by their impure motivation. When lies, deception, arrogance andlust for power come together into the life of the faithful and the community,it is certain that the truth is threatened to disappear and the purity of humanconscience is in danger of lost. Usually the enemies of goodness, sincerity andpurity use violence to destroy those who are the bearers and defenders of truth. Jeremiah, John the Baptist and JesusChrist encountered this violent experience. But the struggle and effort todefend the truth and purity have never stopped until now. Why did the enemiesnot succeed in eliminating the truth and purity of a life that is so dear toGod, even though they have been trying so hard and continually since the timeof Jeremiah? Because the human mind and heart are created for the truth andpurity that are integrated in faith. We believe and express our faith that Godchooses to live in us and in our hearts. If we lose this belief, there will bethe beginning of denial the truth and purity. Actually, in our very being ashumans, we want to live righteously and purely. Hopefully we are still firm tohold on this point. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... In your mercy O Father, we find all your light that brings us backto you after we fail in obeying your will. Strengthen us to be more faithfuland true in our faith. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the HolySpirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Buruh dari sejumlah wilayah di Jawa Timur mulai berdatangan ke depan Kantor Gubernur Jawa Timur.Mereka membawa enam tuntutan untuk disampaikan kepada Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur.

Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 1 Thessalonians 3: 7-13; Rs psalm 90: 3-4.12-13.14.17; Matthew 24: 42-51.THE HEART JUST WANTS TO REST IN GOD The title for our meditation today is:The Heart Just Wants To Rest In God. The sentence of this theme of ourmeditation comes from Saint Augustine, a prominent philosopher and theologianof the Church in ancient times, especially in the period after the persecution inthe Church. We assume that the experience of his own life from being verysecular and evil did not make him calm and peaceful, ultimately all changed tobecome a beautiful end because he repented and enjoyed peace in God. He experienced peace and joy beginningwith his conversion. Then he embraced a new life so profoundly until he becamea bishop and doctor of the Church, who taught the divine truth to many people.He continued to renew the Church, including his family, in particular his ownmother died in peace and happiness. Likewise his father who finally died as abeliever. Augustine's highest achievement as human person is to be a saint andas a teacher of faith for all of us. While doing pilgrimage in this world,we need to always ask ourselves and our loved ones: what do we want to achieveand what place will be the end of our journey? This question should not only bea part of personal reflection or discussion topic in meeting and seminar room,but must be the content of each person's prayer. Every morning waking up fromsleep, and at night going to bed, as we ask this question ourselves, weactually make a very important prayer. God who hears the expressions of theheart and prayers that contain the purpose of our lives, certainly gives theanswer. Together with Saint Augustine, we have a fundamental belief that theplace and moment for our rest, that our hearts will stop seraching, and oursteps will not continue the pilgrimage of life, is no other than the heaven.Whereas in this world, even though the situation really tempts us to lose ourfocus on God, but we should be able to create an experience of life that bringsus calmness and peacefulness in God. According to Saint Paul in the firstreading, our hearts can rest in God if our lives follow the will of God. Thepoint is that the Word of God must be able to work diligently in each of us andin our living together as believers. That means that if someone does not livewith the Word, then not moved by it, he or she has not been said to be happyand peaceful in his life. Moreover, if people whose lives are full with crimesand evil such as the Pharisees and Scribes, they certainly do not live inpeace, happiness and calmness.Let's pray. In the name of theFather... O Lord, may the prayers and blessings of Saint Augustine, we becomemore faithful to You. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of theFather...

Ruth 2: 1-3.8-11; 4: 13-17; Rs psalm 128: 1-2.3.4.5; Matthew 23: 1-12.STAYWITH YOUR SAVIOR Thetitle for our meditation today is: Stay with Your Saviour. Who among us doesnot want to be appreciated, not helped and not accepted as a fellow humanbeing? Obviously there's none. Every one wants his or her life supported andworks appreciated. On the other hand, he or she does not want to be consideredcriminal, destroyer, sinner or trash and a disease of society. Whenin trouble and in need of help, it is not rejection or humiliation that wewant, but understanding, appreciation, acceptance and help. Saints in heaven arethe examples for us in living united with the Lord our saviour and trulyexperiencing His immense love. They teach us about the intimate relationship ofthe human heart and mind with the Lord, our saviour. Adeep and intimate spiritual experience with God can be the right solution forhumans who have difficulties in life. The Lord Jesus sees what we are, that weare sinners and experience various difficulties in life. We obviously need Hismercy. Jesus teaches us not to pretend, but to be transparent, honest orsincere. We are reminded not to follow the lifestyle of the Pharisees, scribesand religious leaders because their words and actions are inconsistent. Theysay, teach and theorize one thing, but do the other. Their own lives become thejudge that determines that they are against Jesus Christ. Godis the most powerful and He really knows us inside and out. It's useless for usto cover up or pretend, because He already knows what we hide, lie and cheat.It could be that just by being hypocritical and pretending to be like that, weactually don't get help and mercy from God. We will get torment and reproachfrom others. So, we should be honest with ourselves, with others and with God. Withhonesty, surely our difficulties, shortcomings and sins will be exposed; thenthe merciful and gracious God will say to us: “Stay with Me, for you will findsalvation. Something beautiful and great will happen to you, if you will staywith Me." Our beloved saints in heaven really experience this. Our Lady,Saint Joseph, the apostles and all the saints are examples for us, namelychoosing and accepting God's invitation to stay with Him. Don't reject thisinvitation. Let'spray. In the name of the Father... O Father in heaven, may with Your blessingtoday we can live today always under the shadow of Your blessing and love.Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit... In the name of theFather...

Delivered by Gabriella Natani from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Joshua 3: 7-10a. 11.13-17; Rs psalm 114: 1-2.3-4.5-6; Matthew 18: 21 - 19:1.A NEW LIFE ACROSSTHE JORDAN The title forour meditation today is: A New Life Across the Jordan. There is a remotevillage called the Valley of Life. Before becoming a densely populated andprosperous village, the valley was only known for the river that gives lifethroughout the season and inhabited by wildlife. But slowly the inhabitants ofthe mountains came to the valley to settle down. For them, living in the valleywill bring prosperity because there is a constant source of water and fertilesoil. The location is on one of the banks of the river with a flat and widesurface, while opposite it is rocks and cliffs. According toboth readings of today, the phrase "across the Jordan" indicates aperiod of new life that God had provided for those who made it through a riverwhose waters could be frightening and dangerous. This situation reminds us ofthe liberation of the Israelites when the Red Sea parted and they escaped thepursuit of the Egyptian army. Joshua, the young Moses' successor, managed tolead his people across the Jordan and was able to gain freedom across theJordan. When teachingHis disciples about forgiveness, the Lord Jesus wanted to lead us to break freefrom the habit of not forgiving. In general, people cannot or will not forgivebecause they are still hurt, angry and resentful. In order to truly forgive,one must pass through the "Jordan", which is a burden of lack orinability to forgive, so that after reaching the other side, one becomes a newperson who always forgives.  Jesus taughtthis with authority and He took all who followed Him to walk a new life acrossthe Jordan. There was a husband who recently had a serious conflict with hiswife. The most important factor is that after he retired early from his placeof work, the family economy began to falter. The wife was always angry and eveninsulted her husband, because he no longer had the ability to build a family.The anger resulted in the husband's heartache and further caused him to fallseriously ill. Her threechildren, who have just started working, finally became a solution. Each ofthem is committed to overcoming the economic situation of their parents. Theyand their mother worked together to take care of and treat their father. In themoments of cooperation and that sense of responsibility expressed to overcomedifficulties in the family, they all feel how the burden of life is eventuallygone away. What exists is a new life. They are already on the other side of theJordan. May we all strive to cross the Jordan and enjoy a new life there.Letus pray. In the name of the Father ... O merciful and loving Father, hold us inyour mighty hands when we fall because of the burdens of life. Our Father who artin heaven... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Deuteronomy 34: 1-12; Rs psalm 66: 1-3a.15.16-17; Matthew 18: 15-20.THE MEANING OF GATHERING IN THE NAMEOF THE LORD Our meditation today is entitled: TheMeaning of Gathering in the Name of the Lord. We always gather with differentpurposes and contexts. God helps and blesses us in our gatherings. For this,the Lord Jesus says that if two or three people gather in His name, he ispresent with them. Our gatherings in the name of the Lord are generally knownas acts of worship. Gathering in the name of God is ofcourse different from any meetings like old friends meet, friends meet togossip, playing jokes together, leisure among peers and many others. Thesemeetings have no spiritual character or signs of worship. These do not describe what Jesus says about gatheringin His name. Moreover, a meeting with intention to do evil and create trouble,certainly does not have the criteria of a meeting in God's name. Gathering in the name of the Lord hassome basic elements, which we always have in our lives together as believers.When we say the name of God, it is the most obvious or easiest way ofworshiping the Lord. A short prayer in mentioning His holy name, for examplefootball teams always do before the match, this is a kind of gathering in thename of God. Here God is addressed and asked for His intercession, certainlynot for evil or bad purposes. The element of gathering as anecclesial community is a formal and authoritative form of worship. We have hereliturgical rites, sacramental celebrations and various devotional expressions.The Lord comes in His power through the sacraments, or He is convoked topresent and to bless these activities. One important factor that shows thistype of gathering is formal and authoritative is that the minister, ordinary orextraordinary, acts in the name of Jesus Christ himself who leads ourgatherings. The minister is the bridge for people and God. The element of gathering in the formof love is the real expression of how God acts and involves through our acts oflove that we do either together or personally. People gather to plan a programof empowering poor families, using the flag of the Church, this is an exampleof gathering in the name of the Lord. Members of the community discussinterpersonal relationships, including moment of brotherly or sisterlycorrection, this is also a kind of gathering in the name of God. In essence, God is present in thegathering of believers, who involve Him as part of the life and work they do,this is the principle of gathering in the name of the Lord. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus Christ, may we always carry out your will faithfully,and be always present in every moment of our lives. Glory to the Father and tothe Son and to the Holy spirit... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Elyanne from the Parish of Saint James in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Sirach 44: 10-15; Rs psalm 132: 11.13-14.17-18; Matthew 13: 16-17.LONGING TO SEE GOD The title for our meditation today is:Longing to See God. A long history of salvation illustrates the life and growthof the faith of those called to fulfill the will of God. Their communicationand relationship with God were manifested in the covenant that God would revealHimself as the savior of mankind. God always spoke and promised, for example toAbraham, Noah, kings and prophets, but He did not show up as a human being thatthey could meet face to face. A communication or relationship thatstill exists as a promise always gives us the consequence to wait for itsrealization. This is true with all the stories in the old testament. All thosewho accepted the promise and understood it very well can only hope in faiththat the promise of the coming of the Messiah, the awaited messenger of Godcould be realized. They all had the desire to see God. Their longing was notsomething empty but a real one, because God Himself already spoke about that,divine miracles and many other signs had really strengthened their faith in thecoming of the One sent from Heaven. But until they all died and left thisworld their dreams and wishes had not been realized. This illustration can helpus to reflect about this. There were two grandparents did not see one of theirgrandchildren to become a priest and if possible a bishop. They did not seewhat they had dreamt of. They had already died when one of their grandchildrenafter following all his formation proceses then to be ordained as a priest.This situation is similar to the people in the old testament. About these people, there are someexceptions. The scriptures only record a number of persons who did not directlyexperience the coming of the Messiah into the world. The parents of John theBaptist, Zakaria and Elisabeth should belong to this category. This includesalso the parents of Our Lady, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, whose feast day wecelebrate today. This couple and grandparents were certainly very happy andproud because the Son of God who was born as Jesus Christ, is from the womb ofMary, their own daughter. When Jesus says, "Many prophetsand righteous people want to see what you see", He actually points this toSaints Joachim and Anne, and all other people including us, who see andexperience the incarnated God in this world. Jesus wants to say that by seeingand experiencing Himself in a real and personal way, this makes us a people sospecial and blessed. Therefore, we must be always grateful and happy. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O Lord Jesus, may through the intercession of Saints Joachim andAnne, we will remain faithful to You in all our lives. Glory to the Father andto the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

When you order food through Gojek or Grab in Indonesia, you're not just getting dinner delivered, but you're also participating in what has become a sophisticated digital platform economy. These food apps have fundamentally transformed how millions of Indonesians eat, shop, and navigate daily life, while generating billions in revenue for tech unicorns that now rival traditional media conglomerates in their cultural influence. But how exactly are these online food platforms reshaping Indonesian society? And what happens when we compare their impact across different cultural and economic contexts? A fascinating new study by Nadia Egalita, a PhD researcher at RMIT, offers insights into these questions through comparative ethnographic research conducted in Surabaya and Melbourne. Egalita's research reveals striking disparities in how online food delivery operates across class lines in Indonesia. While upper-middle-class families with domestic workers and dual kitchen systems allow children to order multiple meals daily, lower-middle-class households use these platforms primarily as treats for kids. Meanwhile, in Melbourne, rising costs have made food delivery a luxury that forces people back into their kitchens, challenging assumptions about technology inevitably replacing traditional cooking practices. Using innovative “digital walkthrough” methods that examine participants' actual ordering histories alongside their stated preferences, Egalita uncovers the gap between what people say they eat and what they actually consume. Her findings challenge common narratives about digital platforms isolating users, instead revealing how families bond over scrolling through menus and negotiating meal choices together. The research also offers fresh perspectives on platform capitalism, digital labor conditions, and the changing nature of domestic life in Indonesia and Australia. We'll explore how these seemingly simple convenience apps are actually reshaping everything from kitchen design to intergenerational relationships, while examining the regulatory challenges posed by Indonesia's growing platform oligarchy. In 2025, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Tito Ambyo from RMIT, and Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University.

In late August and early September I spent three weeks in Indonesia, starting with Bali, and then moving east to Flores and Komodo and Rincha in the Lesser Sundas chain, and then finishing up the trip with some days in southwestern Borneo.  The trip was organized by Dr. Andrew Durso, who you may remember from season 3 episode 65, and Dave Davenport of EcoQuest Travel.  The trip was built around the World Congress of Herpetology, held in Borneo this year, and so we had some herpetologists on the tour, including Rory Telemeco and Dan Warner. I recorded an interview with Dan and Rory at a hotel layover in Surabaya, Java, they were gracious enough to give me a chunk of their time.  We talked about some of our experiences on the trip and then we got into some of the herp research projects that these gentlemen are working on. Thanks for talking with me, Rory and Dan! And thanks for listening everyone!

It's Friday, September 6th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian pastor dragged out of church, building closed by government On August 18th, 50 officials from Jombang Regency in Indonesia dragged a pastor from his worship site and sealed the shop where his church met, reports Morning Star News. Pastor Herri Soesanto described the government seizure of the two-story shop used by his Good God Church, 50 miles west of Surabaya, as “violent and anarchic.” The pastor said, “I never imagined the violence that government officials made, causing upset among the congregation,” adding that he was threatened with jail. According to Open Doors, Indonesia is the 42nd most dangerous country worldwide to be a Christian. Matthew 5:10 says, “"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Chinese spy embedded in New York Governor's office New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul's former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun, has been arrested on suspicion of being a Chinese spy along with her husband, Chris Hu, reports The Epoch Times. Sun faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, visa fraud, and alien smuggling. Hu is also charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, as well as bank fraud, and misuse of identification.  Sun previously worked in the office of former N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, including as his deputy chief diversity officer for two years.  She is also alleged to have forged invitation letters from the N.Y. governor's office for Chinese Communist Party officials to illegally come to the U.S. and meet with American government officials.  U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace said, “The illicit scheme enriched the defendant's family to the tune of millions of dollars.” Governor Hochul expressed her outrage. HOCHUL: “These actions taken by Linda Sun were an absolute betrayal of the trust of two administrations in state government, breaking our ethics rules, and even forging my signature on documents. “But more importantly than that, this is a betrayal of New Yorkers and of the American people. Public service is a calling. It should be revered, highly respected. I am furious. I am outraged by this behavior.” Kamala's VP pick, Tim Walz, subpoenaed over $250M COVID fraud scheme House Republicans are demanding answers from Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, regarding a $250 million COVID-19 fraud scheme, viewed as one of the worst relief scams during the pandemic, reports The Christian Post. GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina issued a subpoena Wednesday to Walz's administration and officials within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Office of Inspector General. The subpoena concerns an investigation that goes back to 2022 regarding a $250 million fraud scheme by a Minnesota-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. The program was intended to help feed hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeding Our Future reportedly created fake attendance rosters with the names and ages of nonexistent children and falsified invoices to create a facade of providing food to the pretend children.  The subpoena cover letter addressed to Tim Walz said, "As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the Minnesota Department of Education and its administration of Foster Care Navigator Programs. Statements in the press by you, [Governor Walz] and your representatives indicate that you and other executive officers were involved, or had knowledge of … [this] massive fraud." Pastor: Jesus would've blessed mothers who abort for “loving kindness” And finally, Rebecca Todd Peters is a professor, author, and a Presbyterian Church (USA) ‘pastor.'   A lover of all things baby-killing, she also serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood. In a July 9, 2023 sermon, she lauded the positives of abortion as she preached to The Community Unitarian Universalist Church of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, reported Protestia.com. As she wore a pink stole, or priestly vestment, emblazoned with the Planned Parenthood logo, Peters lamented that pro-life Christians have gained ground in the culture war in the language around abortion so that even unbelievers view it as a bad thing or “difficult choice.” She cited Psalm 139:13-14 in which David said to God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Incredibly, Peters said this. PETERS: “I can certainly appreciate the lyrical beauty of this text, as well as the descriptions in Jeremiah and Job of their certain knowledge that God was with them in the womb. “I, too, feel that I am known by God in these ways. As a woman who has born two children, I can affirm that I felt something sacred happening in my gestating body during those pregnancies. “I can also attest that I felt God's presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies, and I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin.” Shockingly, on a separate occasion, Peters also made this blasphemous claim. PETERS:  “If Jesus were here today, He would be an [abortion] clinic escort, distracting women from the hatred of the protesters, or an abortion doula, holding women's hands and offering support and love as they end their pregnancies. “If Jesus were giving His sermon today, He might also have said, ‘Blessed are those who end pregnancies for they will be known for their loving kindness.'” No doubt your heart is as grieved as mine over her evil remarks, spoken from a pulpit no less, as she claims to represent God Himself. Please, pray that Rebecca Todd Peters, this Presbyterian Church USA so-called pastor, would repent of her unbiblical worldview that celebrates the murder of a mother's pre-born baby in her womb.
