God is Faithful!

We are fortunate to have Jesus, who cleanses our consciences with blood and washes our bodies in water. The Lord purifies us. He is faithful. He will not leave us orphans. He is God who loves his children. Let us live as brothers and sisters, doing good to each other and encouraging each other by word and deed. For the Lord is going to come, and we will be happy forever in the Lord.

Do you know the Lord allows us to be purified?

Year Two

2 Sam 7:18-19,24-29

David prays to God for the people of Israel. He prays for blessing him and giving him a house. He asks God to bless his house and household. David is comforted by God and his mercy. He is happy that he can pray. He trusts in God and believes that he will listen to his prayer.  God loved him, removed his guilt, and gave him peace and honour to him and to his generation. The Lord is a faithful God, and we can trust him. He will not disown us but lift us up to his embrace.

Are we able to Pray?

Gospel: Mk 4:21-25

There is nothing secret in the world today. Modern media and AI tell many things. In the world today, nothing can be hidden. Everything is known and open. One has to accept the reality. Reality is hard and painful. Once received through a proper medium, humanity's strength and fragility must be respected. It becomes truth and reality. Truth heals, and truth frees. The Lord is in control over us. Lord reveals and manifests for the good of each one. Let us trust in his wisdom, which no one can comprehend.

Do we accept the reality?

Follow Jesus!

  First Week Saturday Ordinary Time Saturday Year One Heb 4:12-16 The Word of God is powerful. It can do the impossible and transform people. Let us read the Word of God. As we know, it is inspired and does immense good. Those who read the Word of God will not go astray. It sustains in times of fragility and temptation. Jesus is the supreme high priest. He was born among humans and lived among them, knowing their frailties. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. He will very well sympathize with us and lead us to believe that we can overcome our sin and guilt and live as sons and daughters of God set free forever. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. Year Two 1 Sam 9:1-4, 17-10; 10:1 Samuel Anoints Saul Meditation Saul, the son of Kish, had gone to look for lost donkeys. Samuel was on search to anoint someone for the Lord. On the first sight of Saul, the Lord speaks to Samuel to anoint Saul. He anoints Saul with a flask of olive oil he carried, pours on Saul’s...

Forgive Yourself and Be Kind to yourself!

  3rd Week Wednesday of Ordinary Time Year One Heb 10:11-18 Meditation Forgive Yourself and Be Kind to yourself! Jesus once and for all offered the sacrifice and is now seated at the right hand of God. He is waiting for the enemy's fall and eternal life for all creation. It is true that Jesus has reconciled humanity with God once and for all. God has reconciled us to the Father, and we can be set free. We are liberated people of the Lord. We remember our sins; in fact, the memory of sins is a blessing so that we do not fall and fail again. The Lord promised us that he would no longer remember our sins. It seems like a paradox: God forgets our sins, and we remember them. Forgiving oneself is a gift to oneself, and faith to trust in his promises. Do we forgive ourselves? Year Two 2 Sam 7:4-17 God speaks to David through Nathan to build a house for him. God felt the necessity of a place for him. God lets David know through the prophet Nathan his desire to have a temp...

Let us Go on God's Way!

  3 rd February 2024 4th Week: Ordinary Time Monday Heb 11:32-40 Mediations Let us Go on God's Way! Great men and women in the history of God’s plan suffered. Suffering for the cause of God and doing great things for the Lord is no avail. It may not make one perfect in life. Doing great things for God without God’s hand and his way is useless. One has to suffer rightly for the cause of God, and it is God who gives us perfection through his grace. It is not that we have gained perfection through our efforts. Do we go on God’s way or our own way? 2 Sam 15:13-14, 3;16:5-13a David Flees Meditation David’s son Absolom turns against him. Absalom wants to kill David. David is cursed for his evil ways. He has to flee from people. As he passes by, he experiences rejection from the people. It happens that one has to go through the face of rejection from people in life for the evil one has done. It is part of life. At one time or another, humans become contemptuous of peo...
