Am I in Need?

 

February 3 Meditation: Am I in Need?

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy (Ps 86:1).

Even the best of people has enemies. David had known and unknow enemies. He is praying to God to listen to him and answer his prayers. He was king, but poor in spirit and he is desperately in need of God and his forgiveness. In a way spiritual poverty is more dangerous than the material poverty. Do we call to God in need?

Sts. Anne and Joachim.

  16th week Saturday in Ordinary Time Ex 24: 3-8 Meditation Sts. Anne and Joachim. Moses built the altar to offer burnt offerings.  He cut the oxen, some blood he poured on the altar, and some he sprinkled over people.  He read the Word of God and reminded the people to be obedient to him.  When the blood was sprinkled on the people, they recalled the covenant of blood that the Lord had made with them.  Reading the Word of God, obedience and acceptance of God’s way are the path to holy life. A holy life is fruitful, despite many challenges. Do we obey God and his commands? Mt 13:24-30     “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.   Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time, I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”   (Mt 13:29-30) The master of th...

Correcting a Brother!

  19th Week Ordinary Time, Wednesday Year One Duet 34:1-12 Meditation Correcting a Brother!   Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses. (Duet 34:9). Moses dies, and he was buried as told. Joshua takes up the lead as the leader of Israel. Moses prepared him to be a leader. He was with him always in leading and guiding the people of Israel. He was prepared to take over the care of Israel. A nation, institute, mission is better led by its leaders who prepare the future leaders to take up the responsibility of leading the mission of God. If the leaders are not prepared, the mission is a failure. Most effective leaders prepare the leaders to carry on the mission. Those who love the mission they do not care of their satisfaction of power but the fulfilment of the mission to see it is carried on by the effective leaders who are prepared. Moses does prep...

God Shared His Priesthood with Humanity in Christ

Image
  8 th Week Ordinary Time Thursday     1 Pet 2 :2-5, 9-12 Meditation God created human beings with a great design to make them his own. He created them in his image and likeness. Due to pride, they lost their innocence, so God designed Plan B to save them. He put humans in a state of grace and holiness, but they lost their grace and dignity in human life. God sends his Son to save humans. He shared his life again with humanity by being born as a human, he taught them his love in word and deed and finally, he died for them on the Cross.   He shared his priesthood with humanity.  Now humans can offer sacrifice for their sins and the sins of others like Jesus by partaking in the Pascal mystery of Jesus. The saving action of Jesus is a way and model for humans to follow. Do we trust God has a plan of mercy for you and me? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb
