Delivered by Ken Rowland Satyadharma and Aerith Lucille from Saint Peter's School Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara, in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Job 42: 1-3.5-6.12-16; Rs psalm 119: 66.71.75.91.125.130; Luke 10: 17-24. PROCESS THAT CREATES RESULT The theme for our meditation today is: Process thatCreates Result. We have experienced having many results or achievements inlife. For example, there is a father who now can enjoy a stable life with hisfamily. They live in a big and decent house built from his own labors andsweat, which for the neighbors around is the best building in their complex.However, if we follow the life story ofthis man, who was just a poor rural worker in the city, we can understand thatthe process in his life was hard and full with struggles. He started working as a construction worker, then hemoved to be an assistant bus driver, he changed again to a street seller, andfinally he became a driver. Thanks to his tenacity and diligence, he was ableto buy his own car, then he too was able to built his own house, and now someof his cars are operating in travel transportation. He also has severalemployees. In essence, he has gone through a long process of hard work and hasexperienced many difficulties along this way. The prophet Job accepted all the difficult experiencesin life as parts of the growth in his faith. However often times he was underthe pressure of pessimism about his own life and he really wanted to run awayfrom all the problems that he should face. In the most extreme point of suffering, he challenged God to take his lifeaway. His life story really reflects the multiple reality of sufferings thatpeople of the world today are facing. No wonder there are many people who canno longer stand the burdens of life and want to end it by death rather thanenduring the sufferings. The passage from the scripture today reveals how Jobactually did not run away from the problems of life, neither did he walk awayfrom God. This can also represent our real situation today. There are so manyof us who endure the hardships and burdens of life, but we do not run away fromthem, and neither we distance ourselves from God. This endurance is very usefulso that we will be able to stand and walk with confidence in the midst ofproblems and sufferings. When the problems would eventually pass away in duetime, we ultimately gain our mental and spiritual growth more readily andmature, and this is actually an outcome that is made by a long process ofstruggle. May we become like the Prophet Job, who had experienced a renewal offaith and then he could see again the Lord in a different view than before. The apostles and disciples were sent by Jesus as sheepamong the wolves. How difficult the process of becoming followers of the Lord!It was a choice that was so tough and challenging. They for sure prone fear anddespair. However, they also believed in what they brought with them love andwisdom of the Lord. So when they returned from missions, they reported howsuccessful they were in overcoming the various difficulties and obstacles alongtheir journeys and works. This is true to everyone of us, that a good result isdefinitely created by a good process as well. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus, may we always be strong infacing every challenge and difficulty along our journey of life. In the midstof trouble and challenges, make us people with strong hope. Hail Mary full ofgrace ... In name of the Father …
