Have Faith in God!

  28th Week Saturday in Ordinary Time Year One Rom 4:13, 16-18 Meditation Have Faith in God! The inheritance of God is not given to descendants of Abraham but those who keep and live in faith. Abraham is the father of faith. We belong to a group and so one can enjoy the royalties; it is not the case with regard to God, one has to keep and live the faith. Abraham is known as the father of faith because he hoped against hope and believed in God that he would have son at the old age. The son he bore at the old age was asked offer as sacrifice he went to offer his as sacrifice. The Lord saves Isac and provides a ram in the bush to offer as sacrifice. It is the faith of Abraham that led him all through his life. God promised that his descendants will be like sands on the seashore and as numerous as stars of the sky, he believed in God. Today it is not enough one belong to the descendance of Abraham to be saved but one should have faith. Faith in Jesus will save us. Faith in God ...

Grace does Good!

  28th Week Friday in Ordinary Time Year One Rom 4:1-8 Meditation Grace does Good! Salvation in Jesus is not the merit of the individuals; all are sinners beyond redemption. humans are called to live moral and virtues life to find joy and meaning in this life and next; they do live virtues life but by human effort alone one will not be saved. Salvation in not our merits and works but the free and gratuitous gift of God. God forgives the sinners. Humans lose hope in their sinful life; no more acts of their own deed and merits can make them contented to earn salvation, unless the Lord enters into their lives through this passion, death and resurrection which the plan of the God the Father for the humanity. God forgave David his sins and blessed his household with the Saviour of the World. Where there is sin grace is in abundance. It is not an encouragement for sinful life but the eternal mercy of God to bring one to the right path of life leading one to eternity. Do you b...

Unity is Grace!

   28th Week Thursday in Ordinary Time Year One Rom 3:21-30 Meditation Unity is Grace! To be precise, law will save the person but faith in Jesus is greater than law; faith in Jesus saves because it includes the law and goes beyond it. We are saved by faith in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.    Law does its good work but not all that is needed for the salvation; faith in Jesus is complete and it will grace us with salvation.    One is justified not only by the acts of law but by faith in Jesus. Faith in Jesus does not exclude the good deeds and law. Law and good deeds are human effort which are good in themselves but faith in Jesus is the saving act of God which cancels sins those even the law and good deeds cannot do it.

God’s Judgment is Just!

  28th Week Wednesday in Ordinary Time Year One Rom 2:1-11 God’s Judgment is Just! St Paul addresses those who judge others but do the same things. His message is clear: you condemn yourself when you pass judgment while living in sin. This forces self-examination—how often do we focus on the faults of others while ignoring our own? St Paul reminds us that God’s patience and kindness are not signs of indifference to sin, but invitations to repentance. Grace is not permission to continue in sin—it’s space to turn around. St. Paul makes it clear that God’s judgment is based on what each person has done. This doesn’t contradict the message of salvation by grace—rather, it shows that a transformed life bears fruit. Good deeds don’t earn salvation, but they are evidence of a changed heart. Examine yourself before judging others. It’s easy to condemn others for their sins, especially when they’re public or different from our own. But St. Paul urges us to first confront our own h...
