‘My son will soon be leaving our home as he has to move for work! But we're coming to Mass together again today because it means a lot to us!’ I read in a WhatsApp. After Mass we have a conversation. ‘I was very touched by the sermon again today. What moved me most today was the deep trust that Bartimaeus placed in Jesus. I also experience that again and again! May I share another experience?’ the mother asks me: ’My son travelled to New York years ago. He was going through a discovery phase!’ - ‘To be honest,’ the son interjected, ‘that was real depression!’ The mother then continued: ‘Yes, it was a difficult time and we kept asking God for help. And then my son walked by the Empire State Building and a small post-it note flew up from above and stuck to my son's jacket. The note literally said: ‘God has a plan for you!’ - ‘God has a plan for you! That note still hangs on our pin board. It inspired a lot of trust back then.’
