SILENCE REFLECTION

Is GOD real? Why do we need to worship GOD? Why do we still have to

confess? our sins to the priest? Why can we not face the truth about GOD? Why do

we have different views about the GOD? Why do we have to sacrifice for GOD?

What does GOD have? Why GOD is important? Why do we have to sin against the

Lord? Do you believe in GOD? Have you ever seen GOD? Is nothing impossible

when it comes to GOD?

They showed the cruelty of the Japanese to the Christians and those who

believed in the Lord Almighty. The two priests had a mission to find their missing

mentor, they had challenges that they did not expect. There are people hiding in a

small house that believe and respect GOD. There the people hid and helped them

and there they confessed their sins about god, because confession means you seem

to be cleaning up the sins you have committed. While they are searching, they find

people who really believe in the Lord and that can relieve their fatigue. The things

about GOD, they value it so much.

When I watched each scene, I was very weak in each situation that will

happen. I was very shocked by what happened because there are people who are

so cruel to other people because of small things. The law they enforce is severe, it is

as if the lord did not bless them to live. When the Japanese punished the atheist,

death was imposed. I remember Kichijiro who repeatedly do sins but returns and

apologizes to the Lord. Not all perception of the people will view the Lord equally.

Every culture is different and we need to respect it.

 Missionary work that went in the footsteps of the image of the Lord, the

spread of the gospel is not in the hearts of people and so they commit sins in the

world. It brings the pain suffered by those who believe in the Lord. It’s all about

dealing with big questions of life, death, faith, rationality and culture which I found

interesting. Every scene is priceless it talks about the reality. It is an overtly religious

film set in an historical context but would appeal to anyone with an interest, not

necessarily a belief, in religion despite the setting; it has relevance for today’s world.

This is a different story from what I watched, because I cried every scene due to the

cruelty of the Japanese people and they don’t like Christians that praise GOD. This

is how this time period actually treated these people; this is the reality of old times.

Even they failed to spread the word of GOD. They test how trustworthy you are to

the Lord. You risked your life assuming you could convince them to believe of our

Lord, but the opposite happened, you turned to the Lord. Not all creation is perfect

and GOD knows what is best for us and he will guide us there perfectly.

In our hearts, the creator will not be imperishable. Like Kichijiro that even if we

made a sin Lord is always willing to listen, bless you again with goodness and

straighten your journey. In Silence, our presence is thanksgiving, praise and

supplication to the Lord. The scene is not very talkative but the story itself and the

lesson itself are very extravagant. Let us understand this reality that we are facing

now.
