Christ Message is to Everlasting LIfe.

 

2nd Week of Easter Friday

Acts 5:34-42

Meditation

Christ's Message is to Everlasting Life.

Gamaliel advised the troubled Sanhedrin well. He told them if it is God’s work that they preach Jesus, it will go one. If it is only human effort, it will not stand. He told them to leave these men and their activity to themselves. If it is God’s work, we may even be working against God still. It was timely advice for the elders by Gamaliel.

We know the reality of the word of God and the message of Resurrection was proclaimed far and wide. The message of God has been proclaimed by so many humble and simple instruments down through the centuries, even to this day. Many people were directly or indirectly involved in the proclamation of the message of Resurrection. These days, through the modern means of communication, many are preaching the good news courageously in spite of so much opposition and obstruction.

Do we know the message of Christ is the message of eternal life?

Gospel: Jn 6:1-15

Meditation

People were taken up by the wonders Jesus was performing. The wonders he performed included healing the sick. Crowds came to listen to him and be cured of their illnesses. They were with him a long time and had nothing to eat. Jesus tells his disciples to feed them, but they express their incapacity to do so. Jesus asks them if they have something edible.

 A boy gets five barley loaves and two fish.  Jesus takes them, blesses them.  He gives it to all the people – everyone has enough to eat.  People were amazed at this miracle and they want to make Jesus king but Jesus went away to the mountains.

 Do you know that Jesus is the King, but his kingdom does not belong to this world?

Do we belong to Jesus' Kingdom and share His values?

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...

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...
