Do we Resist Sin?

Do we Resist Sin?

Christians have run with faith in the struggle of life.  The weight of sin will be on us, but have faith in Jesus and endure it. Jesus accepted death as a shameful death for the sake of sinners, and now he is seated at the right hand of God. Jesus withstood with endurance against his persecutor and sinners.  He has not lost hope in God and the struggle of life for the salvation of humanity.  We must struggle against sin, even to the point of shedding blood.  

Do we struggle to resist sin?

Year Two

2 Sam 18:9-10, 14, 24-25, 30-19:3

Absalom fell into the hands of his father, David, and killed Joab. Sometimes, the lives of some leaders, great people and mighty people end interestingly. Absalom had long hair, and the hair got caught in the thick bushes, and he fell into the hands of the enemy and was killed. The end of every simple or mighty person comes unexpectedly. We are not sure of the next moment of our existence.

Even David tells his soldiers to care for Absalom, but he gets killed. Absalom rose against his father, David. David loved him very much at the death news of Absalom, David moans. Human pride and arrogance can destroy us and harm others. Let us be humble and learn to face God, others, and ourselves with a humble attitude.

Do we have the humility to accept the end days of our life?

Gospel: Mk 5:21-43

He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.’ (Mk 5: 34)

Jesus was going to heal a sick girl, but on the way, a woman touched him and healed her. Jesus, knowing that his power had gone out, asked the crowd who touched him. The woman accepted that she touched him with faith, and she was made well. Jesus told her that her faith made her well. Jesus is ready to do good to all who contact him.

Do we believe Jesus can do multiple miracles?

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...

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...

Dance in the Presence of God!

  3rd Week Tuesday of Ordinary Time Year One Heb 10:1-10 Meditation Dance in the Presence of God! The priests' offerings of the day need to be offered for sin to be forgiven every year. Once forgiven, one’s conscience should not weigh them down for every sin. Sin leads to evil and death. Forgiveness of sin leads to life. Sin can be forgiven through fasts, penances and offerings to God. Jesus has come to forgive sins, and his forgiveness is accomplished by doing the will of God. Jesus, by doing the will of God, once and for all, forgave the sins of humanity. It is the will of God that Jesus, by his obedience to the will of the Father, die and bring salvation for eternity. Do we believe that Jesus won salvation once and for all for us? Year Two 2 Sam 6:12b-15, 17-19 David was lucky to bring the Ark of God to his city. Obed-Edom was blessed with its presence. David brought the Ark of God to his own city to have God's blessing. While bringing the Ark of God, he da...
