Be Humble!


February 16 Meditation: Be Humble! 

Before I was humbled, I went astray, but now I keep your Word (Ps 119:67).

If someone smile because of your goodness and sweetness be humble and thank God. Learn to be humble. Accept and acknowledge that we have gone astray and accept we have sinned, failed and broken. Repent and aske pardon and long for God’s mercy and human acceptance and forgiveness. Mean what you say! Say what you mean and let there be no ambiguity in words and actions. Do we keep God’s Word?

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...

God Gives Courage to Follow His Laws!

  33rd    week Thursday in Ordinary Time Year One 1 Macc 2:15-29 Meditation God Gives Courage to Follow His Laws! Mattathias and sons were asked to give up the law of the their ancestor but they chose not to give up the law of God.   Some are given zest and zeal for the law of God and his commandments. Mattathias and sons were ready to suffer and fight against the king taking extreme step to attack the king’s official instead of giving up the law they learned and valued for life. This great zeal and love for the love of God’s law shows their commitment to God and values of life.  ]The committed life of Mattathias and sons shows the human beings love for God and for his law. Humans are not just weak and fragile persons. Love of God’s rule and command can give humans immense strength and determination and even to give up life for the law of God.   Human life is nothing in the pursuit of the path of following God’s law and rule. Let us realise the love...

The Lord is My Light!

  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?
