Where are We Moving?

Peter takes the situation into control. He is the accepted leader of the early church. He takes courage in the risen Lord and says that he has not gold and silver but has Jesus with them alive and in his name takes the chance to work wonders. He cures the man born lame, and people wonder at the healing done by Peter. The man gives glory to God. They were amazed at  what had happened to the lame man

The cure of lame man was a sign that the power of the Risen Lord is with Peter and with other Apostles. They were constantly strengthened by the belief and presence of the Risen Lord amongst them. The Risen Lord gave them peace and inspired them with his presence to do wonders in his name.

Do you have faith in the Risen Lord?

Gospel: Lk 24:13-35

Meditation

After the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples were still in doubt. Two disciples were on their way to Emmaus, which is away from Jerusalem. They were going away from Jerusalem. Jesus comes and joins them as a stranger.  He enters into conversation with them and tries to strengthen their belief.  But they were slow to understand, while their hearts were burning because of the Words of Jesus. At the meal, Jesus took the bread and broke it and they recognized him. Then, Jesus disappeared. At the breaking of the bread, they recognized the Lord. At what point do we recognize Jesus?

Are we going away from the center called Jerusalem?

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...
