Good to Have a Tough Dad!

The father disciplines the child, and the disciplined child will do well. God is like a father who disciplines his children. Those who are disciplined will do well in life. Sometimes, in some cases, tough fathers are needed to deal with indiscipline children. It is not harmful but should be corrected and put on the right track. Blessed are those who find tough dads who will make their children's lives easy in the coming time. No one who has gone in a tough way will feel sorry. Holiness is needed to meet the Lord. The bitterness will cause defilement, but discipline for the good life will bring blessings in life.

Do you believe in the power of discipline?

 2 Sam 24:2, 9-17

There was great famine and disaster for the people of Israel. David prays that the disaster is upon him and his family and not on the people. David accepts his sin and asks God to harm him and not his people. It is an excellent attitude of a King and leader who has a real concern for his people and submits himself to take up the punishment on himself and to let the people be free of the wrath of God. It needs humility and courage to ask for the punishment one deserves rather than allowing others to perish.

Do we dream of the good of young people?

Gospel: Mk 6:1-6

We know about people, but we do not know their abilities and gifts of grace. They took Jesus for granted as they knew his family. They did not know that Jesus was the Son of God. They were surprised by Jesus's knowledge and wisdom. We are all blessed with gifts of nature and grace. We need to know them, and we come to know them in prayer, meditation, and divine grace. Jesus was in prayer, mediation, and union with the Father.

Above all, He is the Son of God. We have to accept that Jesus was the fullness of Truth. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus was not accepted in His own hometown. It happens to every prophet that he is rejected by his own people.

Do you accept the knowledge and wisdom of Jesus is from above?

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.

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...

God Reveals Himself to those Whom He Loves~

  30 December 2024 1Jn2:12-17 Meditation St John is writing to fathers, children, and young people to free them from the evils of life because of Jesus. He tells them not to love the world and those who are passing. Humans are more passionate about the temporary things of life. They are not attracted to lasting ones that give peace and Joy. The desires of the flesh, the attraction of the eyes, and the pride that comes from the world's riches do not belong to the Father in heaven. Those things that belong to God, heaven, and eternity give us lasting joy, peace, and happiness. They call for commitment and sacrifice on the part of individuals. The world and its attractions are always easy but lead to darkness and sadness. The way to happiness and light is challenging and less attractive. Do we choose life in God or death in the world? 30 December Gospel: Lk 2:36-40 Meditation God Reveals Himself to Those Whom He Loves The Prophetess, Anna, was at the servers of the...
