(Focolare-beweging)
End of October 2022...
in Bankok's Nativity of Our Lady Cathedral...
Holy Mass was celebrated by this same Cardinal Archbishop Francis Xavier Kriengsak Kovitvanit.
He began his homily reminding those present that Jesus Himself and His work is the most important thing in our lives. The gift of the Holy Spirit received by the first Apostles is what completely changed their lives, he continued. That gift allowed the Apostles to witness to Jesus through the love they showed one another.
The Cardinal continued saying that is not only common faith that holds Christians together, but the fact that we are Christ’s body, sharing one same life. Thus, since Pentecost, Christians make the Risen Body of Christ appear in a clearer way every day.
People of other faiths will be able to meet Jesus, still present in the Church at this time, and thus Jesus will manifest His Love to them, because the God of the Christian is Love. This is the real attraction for people today, just as it was at the time of the early Christians. Because people living today are looking for love, the Cardinal noted.
In conclusion, he declared that the key to evangelization today, therefore, is the proclamation of the Gospel and the witness of Christians lives that live the faith in the way they shów their Love.
