30th Week Tuesday in Ordinary Time

Eph 2: 19-22

Meditation

Christians are One in Christ!

The study of philosophy and theology debates over the existence of God, over the need of religion, need of prayer, need of church and Jesus as the Son of God, who came to save the world.  To all these questions and problems, the word of God today gives us a clear answer that our faith, beliefs and tradition of the church in Jesus is not baseless but has its foundation in prophets, apostles and Jesus as the cornerstone. Christians are not strangers, aliens but are part of the saints and belong to the household of God.  The church is built on the foundation of Christ body and his apostles, and their followers are built together as dwelling place of God; so, church and the mystical body of Christ is real and not a philosophy and theology which has no foundation. At times there is doubt in the faithful the foundation of the church and church as a sacrament of salvation; as Jesus is historical person, which no one can question.  Jesua is truly Son of God upon whom the foundation of the church is made. No power can face the church of Jesus. Church belongs to Christ, and he is its invisible head.

Are we aware that the foundation of the church is Jesus?

Lk 6:12-19

Jesus Teaches and Heals!

 He came down with them and stood on a level place with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.  And everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them. (Lk 6:12-19).

Why were the people going to Jesus? They were going to Jesus to listen to Him, to be cured and to be delivered from demons. Today why do people go to Jesus. Today we too go to Jesus to listen to His Words, to be cured of our sicknesses, and to be free of the demons in us. Jesus is a miracle worker. It is true indeed, but he worked wonders to free us in this world. His home is eternal home, which is heaven.  Jesus came to give us Eternal Life. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life. Jesus has power with Him for He is the Son of God.

Do you know that Jesus has power that goes out to do wonders?

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. 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...
