BREAD FOR YOUTH

  February 27 Meditation: Do we cry for God’s Help! Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord (Ps 130:1). God I am waiting for your help. The cry is from my heart and the entire being longs for your help. You come to wipe away my tears and give me tears of joy to praise you. It is only you O Lord change our mourning to joy. Do we give chance to God to wipe away our tears? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  February 26 Meditation: Thank God! I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise (Ps 138:1). The attitude of gratitude is an attitude of holy persons. Those who praise God, praise with their body, heart and soul.   A true praise comes from entire being. Let us cultivate the attitude of gratitude. Let us bless those who express gratefulness. Are we grateful to one another? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  February 25 Meditation: Sin Hurts God! Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgement (Ps 51:4). Whatever may be our sin, it ultimately hurts God. God is just and God is love. God Judges and punishes in such a way that his love rules as everything happens in the lives of persons. Are we aware that God’s judgement is full of love? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  February 24 Meditation: God Set us Free of Fear! I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fear (Ps 34:4). In time of trouble, I sought the Lord and came to solve problems of life. He delivered the one’s who are in danger and set the free from their fear. In fear there is no growth and no prayer. The Lord is close to us to remove fear from us. Do we seek for God’s help? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

February 23 Meditation: God Saves! Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, My rock and my redeemer (Ps19:14). Every word that comes out of one’s mouth must be to praise God. The meditation of the heart transforms one to be acceptable to the Lord. The Lord’s saving action is as strong as rock. God is redeemer. He continues to save us. Do we like to be saved? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  February 21 Meditation: Listen to me Lord! Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy (Ps 86:1) Listen to me Lord. I have much to tell you. I have lot of questions and doubts and seek answers and clarity from you. I have all I need but still human greed for things drags me away from you. Help me to choose you and choose your laws to love and to be loved. Do we speak to the Lord? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb
