The Birth of John The Baptist

The message for today’s gospel is about obeying God’s will. We can ask why and how do we go about what God wants us to do in our life. If we disobey God, we are committing a sin and must ask forgiveness. Therefore, we should accept God’s will and carry our cross. When we carry our cross, we rely on God for strength and as we become closer to him, we develop a deeper kind of relationship with Him. And in the silence of our hearts, God speaks. Just like Zechariah who doubted the wisdom of God, he was given the cross of being mute. In our life situation, how do we carry our own cross?

The Eternal Covenant of Peace

In today’s reading taken from the Book of Prophet Isaiah, also called the Book of Salvation, God speaks to us telling us not to fear nor be discouraged.  God has promised that His love is steadfast and His covenant of peace shall not be removed.  The Lord is compassionate for those who suffer shame and disgrace. We must remain faithful to God to enable us to live our life with hope and strength in times of troubles. Have you encountered shame and disgrace in your life and put back yourself into God’s hands?

Dec. 5, 2011 - Luke 5:7-26 - Jesus Heals a Paralytic

The gospel for today speaks about how God cured a paralysed man. In our present world, our body becomes paralyzed because of fear and despair. We become slaves in our own world and cannot move because we are afraid that something might happen to us. 

What we need is for someone who would help us remove the stumbling block of fear; someone who have strong faith in God who will carry us to Jesus. And by our faith we will be healed. Has someone helped you to be closer to God?

New Roman Missal - My reflection

Last Sunday, November 27, 2011, we begun using the Third edition of the Roman Missal in the celebration of the Mass.  What is most striking in the new  responses  is when  the priest say “The Lord be with you”   and we answer   “and with your spirit.”   instead  of  “and also with you”  . This change involves growth in our relationship with God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  The changes in the Roman Missal are intended to create a new translation based on the original Latin text. This change will bring unity in all the languages in the world.  This will renew our faith in Christ and bring closer to God by focusing on these words during the sacrament of the Eucharist.

We also  begun the season of advent which is a  time to wait for the coming of Christ. And as we wait, we hope for the Lord to grant our petitions and His blessings.

Forgiveness

Hello to everybody,

I would just like to know your opinions on various topics. For today, it's about forgiveness: If a person sins against you seven times a day and turns back to you seven times, will you be able to forgive him or her?
