Meditation

Jesus is Alive. 

Jesus is alive. Jesus is real. Jesus living among us. We have no more fear because Jesus will do the needful to us. Young people need to believe this fact in Jesus. In Christus vivit, Apostolic Exhortation to Young People, Pope Francis encourages young people to discover Christ and renew hope in Him.  We are people of resurrection and hope-filled people. Our past, present and future are shaped and given richness because Jesus is alive.

It is a great joy to know and believe in the resurrection. The Lord is no more dead, but he is alive. Since he is alive, he is actively involved in our lives. We have no reason to be sad and discouraged.  Once and for all the whole universe is saved and given everlasting life at the resurrection of the Lord.

Sts Andrew Kim, Paul Chong Hasang (Mem)

Do we place our hope in God, ourselves and others?

Salvation is More Refined Than Gold

Image
  8 th Week Ordinary Time Monday ( 1 Pet 1:3-9) Meditation The most durable material is gold, it is refined in the fire. Humans are the crown of creation, and their bodies join the earth. Jesus through his resurrection has given us hope to human beings and the hope is lasting that humans have eternal life. Our joy comes from the Lord who came to save us and lead us to the Father. God has given us faith in Jesus and our faith is a gift. We believe in the unseen God who leads us to reach our destination, heaven. Human beings are the most vulnerable, yet they possess strength beyond measure to rise above the negativity and evil and be united with the Divine. Let us be grateful to God for the Spirit he has put into us for life everlasting. Can you note an instance in which you often lose hope? Fr Putti Anthaiah SDB

GOLD AND SILVER

Image
  8 th Week Ordinary Time Wednesday 1 Pet 1:18-25 Meditation Durable things like gold and silver are precious. They can be used to sell and buy valuable things. Gold and silver are valued by human beings, to procure things needed for human life. One should remember that even gold and silver are perishable and can’t get everything those human beings need. Gold and silver are so valuable can’t bring eternal life. Jesus through his passion, death, and resurrection has brought salvation to humanity. Eternal life is brought to us by Jesus. Jesus is our redeemer and saviour. Jesus is more valuable than gold, silver and all the world can offer. Everything will perish in the world but not the Word of God, the message of Jesus, and the saving action of Jesus. Do you believe Jesus is more valuable than Gold and silver? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

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
