2025 Ends, but the Journey Continues

It is already the last day of the year. It has been a remarkable year. I met so many people, shared meaningful conversations, and went on pilgrimages to various unknown places. Looking back at all those moments now, Jesus was truly with me throughout it all.

A Calm Conclusion, A Hopeful Beginning

The Jubilee year is drawing to a close. While there is a lingering sadness in its ending, I wish to accept and dwell in this conclusion with a calm and humble heart. Since an end is essential for a new beginning, I do not feel only a sense of loss.I am filled with anticipation for the new paths that have already begun.

From "My Will" to "His Will"

Living in today's world, there are times when I feel overwhelmed and lost. The world tells me, "Do what you want." But I honestly don't know; there are many times when I am unsure of what I truly desire. In those moments, I found a question that helps: "Do what Jesus wants." Even if I don't know what I want right now, I think I know what Jesus would want for me. He wants me to be happy, and for that happiness, He desires that I offer myself to Him so that I may fully receive and enjoy the eternal life He gives. I can start with small steps toward that goal—by praying right where I am, taking care of myself, loving my neighbor, and finding small ways to practice my love for God.

Embracing Every Stumble with Gratitude

This year has truly been an amazing one. Although I had to face my many stumbles and falls, Jesus caught me and lifted me up every single time. Therefore, I embrace all the lingering feelings and linger at the end of the year with a heart full of gratitude.

Thank you.
