The Lost Child

I will say this is a late reflection, Today morning as I was in chapel suddenly this incident comes out of my memory, Reflection is all about how important is to hold on to JESUS to Reach the FATHER as the scriptures says No One Comes To the Father, But Through Me: John 14:6.  I and my family went for a pilgrimage to Velankanni in Nagapattinam , one of the HOLY places of Mother Mary’s apparitions. We go every year to this holy place. After evening mass, we generally walk towards a place where mother Mary appeared to a lame boy, and we say rosary or contemplate on way of  the cross, this place is always crowded, in this midst of the crowd my dad noticed a small kid hardly 4 yrs old crying missing his parents, my dad asked me to carry this kid, I took him, I asked his what’s your name, he couldn’t speak also he was scared, he was holding me so tight, we took him to the security guy to keep the boy safe there as the place crowded  and its hard to find his parents. But that boy did not want get away from me, I told him see Jesus is there with you , MAMA Mary is with you, am not sure whether he understands me, tried to convince him but he is not ready let me go, we waited there for sometime hoping his parents will search for him. We asked the security personal to announce it in the mic, after sometime the parents came and took the kid. I felt happy that I was able to hand over him to his parents. As we walk towards our spiritual life its very important to Hold on tight to Jesus other wise we will be lost in the world as the lost child, as we know Jesus is only way to reach the Abba Father, we should hold him in every situation, we may be distracted with many things which is taking away from JESUS, just imagine, if that kid was taken away by someone who may misuse or abuse him. Its possible in this world we brought up as Christians get lost in worldly pleasures one day we realize that we have taken wrong path we are like a LOST child. Don’t forget Jesus is always there for our Rescue.  We belong to Jesus and Satan tries to manipulate many things in our lives offering APPLE’S in our life finally deceiving us. Lets Identify JESUS in our lives, How close we relate to him, How much time we spend with him, Do we really follow him?. JESUS LOVES YOU ALL. HOLD ON TO JESUS.
