How can the "horse" inspire us in our Christian faith?

from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church

Longing for Mystery, trusting in the unexplained presence of GodWe are still in the season of the lunar New Year, and this year is the year of the horse, the horse symbolizes strength and determination How can the horse inspire us in our Christian faith?One feature is its focus. The horse that wins the race actually wins not just by strength but by its focus. And just as blinkers keep a racehorse fixed on the finishing line, our Christian life is fixed on Christ who leads us to our finishing line, which is the promise of eternal life, the promise of salvation.In Matt 17:1-9, The Transfiguration was for the disciples to focus intently on Jesus who shone brightly before them giving them hope against hope. Just like disciples, with Jesus as our jockey let us learn to say, “Lord, you see the entire track, not me, into your hands I commend my spirit."Novena devotion by Fr Eugene Lee, C.Ss.R.
