The Holy Guardian Angels
Gospel – Luke 17:5-10
“Be uprooted and planted in the sea,”. These words are so radical. To be uprooted from where I am, from where I feel at home, from where I am happy, from where I think that I am giving fruits, and to be planted in the sea where I fear I will be drowned, I fear I cannot put my roots, I fear I cannot give fruits. This move is radical. This move needs the faith, a radical faith. Faith which helps you to do accept this challenge, faith which gives you the strength to be uprooted, faith which gives you the confidence to be planted in the sea. This faith comes when you find yourself part of Him who called you. This faith comes when you find yourself servant of whom you are part of. You don’t have an identity. You belong to Him. You abandon yourself in Him. This faith is that which gives you the strength to be uprooted from where you are and to planted wherever.
