BREAD FOR YOUTH

  December 9 Meditation Give Glory to God All the Time! O Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.   Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples (Ps 96: 1-3). Sing to God a new song.   Let every being and everyone sing to a song to the LORD. Let the glory of God be made known among the nations and among the people. The way to make the glory of God known is to live joyful lives. Those who are joyful and cheerful only can sing the glories of God. Do we declare the Glory of God? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

December 8 Ps 98:1 Meditation Sing a New Song! O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. Song comes forth in the mind, heart and mouth of a person at the wonders of the Lord. Those who are not singers become singers. Those who unliterate emerge as literate. The song and words become words coming from the Spirit of God as the words having eternal value. The song that one sings becomes new song. A song that lingers on in the mind, heart and on the lips. When did you sang a song for the Lord? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  December 6 Ps 147:1-2 Meditation Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting. The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. Those who are happy sing and those who possess grateful heart, sing for the wonders that the Lord has done to praise God. The best way to express gratitude to God is to sing praises to Him. Those who sing praises to God are full of joys and they spread that joy to others. The singing of the praises of God will take one to the community of people and to join in heaven for eternity. Do we sing a song for the Lord? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

  December 5 Meditation The Lord is My Light! Ps 27:1 The Lord is my light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear? The Lord is the Stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps 27:1) We see in the light things clearly. We have clarity of things in the light, and we make right judgement of things in the light. The external light makes the vision clear.   The internal light of the mind enables us to make right decisions.   The one who possess the light will have Salvation and need not have any fear of darkness.   There is fear in darkness. The fear of darkness should lead us to seek and be in the light of the Lord. The Lord, who is light, will be with us to accompany us along the path of eternity. Do we seek light or darkness?
