Praise the Lord, the King!

  January 10 Meditation: Praise the Lord, the King! Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King (Ps 149:1-2). A new song comes at the new idea, new joy, new hope, new life and the new song gushes forth like the water that gushes through the rocks into river. Let every human person learn to sing a new song. A song that no one sang, for everyone is specially made in the image of God. Let a song of praise and joy be on your lips, heart and mind. Do we praise God? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

Praise the Lord!

  January 9 Meditation: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God O Zion! For he strengthens the bars of our gates; he blesses your children within you (Ps 147:12-13). We praise God in  every place of good experience which come along with the God experience. For Israel, Jerusalem is the place of God experience for ages. He protects all those who are in the city of Jerusalem and He blesses children within the city. It is better to be in the city of God. The city of God for us is the heart of God or heaven. Do we love heaven? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

God is Redemer!

  January 8 Meditation: God is Redemer! From oppression and violence, he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight (Ps 72:14) Oppression without limits and a way without end to it, leads to violence.   Oppression itself is evil and the violence is extreme form of it. The Lord saves his people from oppression, violence and the bloodshed for the people are dear to him. He loves them and gathers them like hen that gathers its young form danger. Are we under oppression of any sort? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

Have Pity on the Weak

  January 7 Meditation: Have Pity on the Weak! He has pity on the weak and the needy and saves the lives of the needy (Ps 72:13). The weak are suspectable to the exploitation and illness. One must have pity on them. The needy are looking for helping hand. Give your helping hand to those in need. Be sure that your help in need will save them from evil and death. Do we help those in need? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb  

Fear of God!

  January 6 Meditation: Fear of God! From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still (Ps 7:8). Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. No, human judgement is final. Judgement of God alone is final. At the loving and merciful judgement of God the earth comes to stillness. Are we aware of the magnanimity of the mercy of God? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

God’s Law is Perfect!

  January 5 Meditation: God’s Law is Perfect! I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you (Ps 2:7). The Lord instructs us his laws and decreases and supports us to put them in practice. As sons and daughters, it is our responsibility to follow the laws the Lord. He keeps us close to him as his sons and daughters. The Lord’s joy is to see us follow his laws and commands as his dear children. Do we keep the laws of God? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

Let us Express Faith!

  January 3 Meditation: Let us Express Faith! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord (98:6). The verse challenges us to think about how we express our faith. The verse in Psalm 98:6 invites us to worship with joy, gratitude, and boldness, letting our lives reflect the greatness of the King we serve. Do we celebrate God only when it’s easy, or are we willing to praise Him openly? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb
