Meditation

Do Good within Your Reach Out!

The treasury and the temple vessels are looted. The tax which paid by the people and the vessels are used for drinking wine. The abuse of power and the use of over drinking at expense of the cost of poor is a ruin of the nation and people. God does not like such things to happen. The power that God gives is for service. Those who do not use power for service but for self-service enter into trouble with God and people. It is reminder to the heads of families and all those who exercise power one way or the other. Anyone misuses of the power one, he/she has to pay for it. Let us learn to use whatever power and authority we have for the well-being of others and for the glory of God.

How do we make use of power and authority within our limits?

Year Two

Rev 15:1-4

There will be Plagues and Sickness!

As we know the end experiences sickness and destruction. So is the end of life and the end of the world. Let us not be anxious about the end for the end is bound to come as a whole and individually. Better to be prepared than unprepared. Though the end time is full of hardships it will be a happy ending.

Happy ending because there is only one thing in the entire universe the living and the dead long for God and praise him. “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O Lord of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy…” All nations will worship you for your goodness.

Do have an attitude to praise God at all times?

Lk 21:12-19

Trust in God's Care!

“But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.  This will give you an opportunity to testify. So, make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance, for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. (Lk 21:12-15)

The Church and Christians are the most persecuted in the history of the world. We know that it is the Church which withstood all persecutions and became the sacrament of Salvation to all the generation of people. On account of Jesus, we will be taken for task, and we will be questioned but the Lord will instruct us what to do?, what to say? Let us trust that God will taking care of us from all impending dangers.

Do you trust that God takes care of us?

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...
