If there is anything that we should really work hard for, first and foremost then that is to enrich ourselves spiritually then every other gift will follow. Amen. Hallelujah!
Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7
... No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you doing such deeds for those who wait for him...
As we continue to be confronted with the mystery of our everyday living, may it gives us a better view and understanding of what life should be all about here on earth. May our perspective about our existence here on earth continually grow and prosper in the knowledge of our Infinite God. For to Him alone do we come for help for there is really no one to go but to God. Amen. Hallelujah!
Psalm 80:2-3, 15-16, 18-19 (4)
R: Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.
...May your help be with the man of your right hand, with the son of man whom you yourself made strong. 19 Then we will no more withdraw from you; give us new life, and we will call upon your name...
With all the shortages that affect the whole world and the different crises that we are all facing today we can't help it, if we feel insecure and afraid. Especially in times when we start to run out of resources, this usually happens to most of us these days. We must realize that there is only one thing needed and we have to make it our choice so that it will not be taken away from us. We need not be worried and anxious about a lot of things. As in Lk. 10:41-42, The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." If we choose the right thing then we can claim all other things, as in Mt. 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides." To top it all, we are assured in today's 1st reading that we are sufficient for God alone provides. If there is anything that we should really work hard for, first and foremost then that is to enrich ourselves spiritually then every other gift will follow. Amen. Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 1:3-9
...5 that in him you were enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge, 6 as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you, 7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8 He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our everyday circumstances teach us that nothing in this world is permanent and all life on earth will eventually come to an end. May we always strive to work for the benefits of our souls which is eternal and permanent than for the goods of this earth which will pass away. Let us make a habit of vigilance so that we will all be ready when the appointed hour comes and not miss an opportunity of spending eternity with God in Heaven. Amen. Hallelujah!
Mark 13:33-37
...“Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come...May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping...
