Days of Reflection and Prayer

 Subscribe in a reader

On these days of   Holy Days; Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and the summit day Easter Sunday, we are all invited to journey with our self , with others and with God, These are days of intense invitation from God to see our self in relation to our family, to other who are in  need of our love and concern, and in our relationship with our God.

What bothers you most at this moment in our life?. Are there conflicts to be patched up? Do you  harbor pain  because your were mal-treated. Whatever feelings of hurt, pain, and rejection there is a call to us , the call to forgive. Oftentimes, we ask God's forgiveness as we say," forgive our sins", what if the Lord will ask us in return, "will you forgive"?


Its not easy to forgive. God's grace is needed for one to do so. But can you start doing it by praying to the person who caused pain and hurt to you by praying. " Father forgive ________name of person________ for to she/he does not know what she/ he is doing. Teach me and help me forgive and have mercy on me a sinner. Repeat this prayer many times as you could, say it morning, afternoon till evening. Lastly, decide to forgive.

P.S. There's a call to forgive. Make it part of your mission starting today.

I Love Google

I been using google for quite time , but it's only this time that I open and sign up for google site.
I laugh to my own self of being not exploring google. I thought before that I have to pay in order get into a website. Google has many products for us to enjoy and make most of it.

For the past months I been searching about search engines, looking finding what niche all about and thinking of good content and community whom I could address to. I been reading many online articles, marketing articles for email marketing. I am hopeful I could learn all these things in the near future as to increase my google adsense. I will not give up searching as to become identified by the search engines.

Greediness Not Poverty

Is poverty is the underlying cause of the kidnap for ransom in the Philippines ? Someone me. My opinion to this question , no is not. I believe that people behind to this crime are not poor. I think they are not poor but only they are greedy. The desire for more and amidst of material things the feel empty. They desire to have more but failed to find the real motivation of having more. They wanted perhaps satisfaction not commitment to serve and help others with what they posses. They failed to develop to live a life with a sense mission . Mission to earn more money rightfully. http://makingmoneyrightfully.blogspot.com

Going Beyond Awful Experience

ll

Amidst of a liturgical ceremony a little girl collapse . She was attended right away the company nurse. It was felt by almost everyone that the weather was so hot and portion of the gym was directly strike by the sun. I felt the concern of the situation not only to the little girl but also to the group of young ladies who were directly hit by the sun light, so I went to the head of the institution and suggested that these few girls be removed from their seats for a while . But surprisingly the head reacted furiously saying "it's not hot, no it's not hot" . I went back to my place with a great dismay. She give more value to order of seats than wellness of a person. I feel hurt and disgusted. But I have to make a decision not to be slaved and controlled with that emotion. I made a plan to talk it over with my head to let her know of my experience with her. I lift her to God in prayer. Now I gradually feel free because I made a decision to forgive.

The Coming of Jesus

Christianity celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago on this season of

Christmas. The coming of Jesus , the Emmanuel manifest God’s presence

yesterday , today and tomorrow. He comes in history this what we are celebrating

in this season of Christmas. He comes in mystery in the celebration of the

Eucharist and He will come again in His Glory.

Our common understanding of Jesus coming especially on the season of

Christmas is in joyful celebration. Big images of the characters of the Belen

surrounded by the gifts that we received , and fabulous lightings. Is Jesus’

presence limited only in that scenario? I believe Jesus coming and presence can

also be experienced in suffering, in challenging moments of our life. The picture

or image that can be seen is no longer the baby Jesus in a Belen but an image of

suffering someone, a dying and aged person, poor and the oppressed . Yet the

grace of God is abounding that He manifest His loving presence in the comfort and

the unlimited blessings bestow upon us.

Advent Is When God Breaks Through: It Is Nothing Less Than That And This We So Need to Understand!

The Season of Advent is upon us again but what is Advent and what does this word Advent mean, and even more importantly, what is its significance?

The church many years ago laid aside and set aside, these four Sundays before Christmas and called this season the Season of Advent. That is a very easy thing to do, but I wonder if many realize where all this comes from!

What does Advent mean? It means the glory of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It signifies the breaking of the divine into human history. The supernatural broke into the natural.

It means something great impending from the side of heaven.

The world is blundering in a morass of sin and sorrow and sadness and suffering.

Economically and financially we are on the edge of precipice and it appears to be the result of deceit and corruption and arrogance and greed and gross mismanagement!

Never before in my lifetime have we needed a significant Advent. We need a breakthrough from Almighty God to deal with the sin that has permeated every area of life.

Here and there, there are lights shining in the darkness, and please God, may where we worship and seek to testify to Christ and be a faithful witness be one of the places!

God is marching on.

We meet people with their personal problems, and there are brave faces hiding sore hearts. There are secret wounds that ache. There is a restlessness where peace is almost impossible.

Life is harder for some than we in Christ can dare to imagine.

Some think that if there is a God then He has forgotten them, or He has walked by them, or He is just not interested in them. That has happened in our nation.

Be still thy soul. We would want to say to such troubled men and women.

Advent is when Jesus Christ breaks through!

It has nothing to do with these four Sundays although that may help some.

It has nothing to do with lighting a candle or that may help some.

It has to do with Jesus Christ breaking through. It has to do with Almighty God breaking through into some troubled tortured life that is turmoil, and that can be the result of a multiplicity of reasons and causes.

Sometimes the hymns and Psalms and music we sing can break us through to God more than clever sermons, although we need feeding from the Word of God.
