I focus on the great faith of the Centurion. There are events in life that happen out of our control. Sometimes we do not even imagine if something will happen to us or something will happen to one of our loved ones. All of a sudden, someone we love can have an accident or we can experience hard times in our lives. This situation, at that moment, can make us closer to the gate of desperation and crisis of faith. Today’s gospel tells us about how Centurion’s faith and hope in Jesus, Son of God who at that time was known as the Son of a poor carpenter, Joseph.
That Centurion’s great faith abandoned all worries, pains, uncertainty to Jesus. We should humble ourselves to be able to reach God’s compassion. We should become like a little child who casts everything to Jesus. If we love our significant ones so much, we must believe that God loves him/her more than us. He cares for us more than anyone else. Each one of us has been given mission during our lifetime here on the earth. Let us nurture our faith in God and let us cast everything to Him; all our worries and pains. Be sure He will take care of us.
