Praise the Lord, the King!

 

January 10 Meditation: Praise the Lord, the King!

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful. Let Israel be glad in its Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King (Ps 149:1-2).

A new song comes at the new idea, new joy, new hope, new life and the new song gushes forth like the water that gushes through the rocks into river. Let every human person learn to sing a new song. A song that no one sang, for everyone is specially made in the image of God. Let a song of praise and joy be on your lips, heart and mind. Do we praise God? Fr Putti Anthaiah Sdb

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...

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...

Use Freedom Well!

  5 th Week Tuesday of Ordinary Time Year One Gen 1:20-2:4 Meditation Use Freedom Well! God made the universe and created man and woman to live in the world. He created the special. He made them in his image. He did not make them like him. He made them in his image, which would mean he made them almost like him but human. He did not make them control and subjugate them, but he gave them freedom. Freedom is the greatest gift that God has given us. The most needed and wanted is freedom. Let us enjoy the freedom of God as God himself is free. Do we use our freedom well? Year Two 1 Kings 8:22-23, 27-30 Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication King Solomon prays to God for blessings. God has come to dwell on the earth. Solomon asks God to keep the convent of love with the people of God. It is the true prayer of a king who has received innumerable blessings from God’s hand and prays on his behalf and as people to keep the convent of love. God loves us first. Humans learn love ...
