LIGHT IS FAITH

No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, that those who enter may see the light.‘ Luke 8.16

Reflection:

Your faith is a light. You must use not only to enlighten your life but all the world

FAITH

WHERE AM I GOING TO CAST MY NET?

FAITH AND TRUST

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.

God holds the world in His hand, yet still sees such small details.

GRACE, PACTIENCE and FAITH

LORD, PLEASE GIVE ME THE GRACE TO BE CONTENT WHERE I AM NOW, 
THE PATIENCE TO WAIT ON YOUR TIMING,
 AND THE FAITH TO KNOW YOUR HAND IS ALWAYS ON MY HEART.

3RD SUNDAY AFTER EASTER YEAR A

Some call today's gospel as the gospel of the Confused Disciples.

Luke's story centres on two disciples journey to Emmaus confused about the mission of the Messiah who promised that He would rise from death but yet they had still not seen Him. Finally Jesus shows himself to them at the breaking of the bread.

Cleopas and his companion thought Jesus' death had brought an end to the redemption of Israel. 

As far as they were concerned, the shame and death of the cross was not compatible with their understanding of Israel's Redeemer.

Just like these disciples, we may also not know why things have happened, or even what things have happened. We may not know the best course for us to take in this or that situation.

One thing is clear:  if we stay united to the Lord in Word and Sacrament, we will never go wrong. We can be at peace because we have our anchor, Sacred Scripture, and our joy, the Presence of the Lord in the Eucharist

4th SUNDAY LENT YEAR A

The Man Born Blind, is the story of a simple man open to God’s presence and arrogant men who cannot see the Christ standing right before them.

A tragedy greater than all others is to be blind and say that we can see. There are so many areas where we are perilously blind to the ways in which our actions, words, thoughts and desires have jeopardized our eternal salvation.

The more we do not admit our blindness the more hardened our blindness becomes.

Little has changed in the world. You go to work, to school, and the so-called intellectuals belittle you because you are a person of faith. We cannot allow others to put us down for our faith. We know what matters in life. We are reminded of the saying “seeing is believing.”  In the case of God, not seeing but believing is what is important.  That is faith.

MARY AND OUR FAITH

If we are to truly know our faith,
we need to know Mary, the Mother of God.
If we are to love our faith,
we need to love Mary Immaculate; if we are to live our faith,
we need to live under Mary’s mantle.

Fr. Donald Calloway, Marian’s of the Immaculate Conception

MY FAITH

 

DO I HAVE THIS MUCH?

 

For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matt 17:20)

 

FAITH

Don’t give up just because things seem hard. You’ve invested so much, and you never know, just a few more days of believing, another few weeks of doing the right thing, another few months of staying in faith, and you could see that situation turn around. Remember, God is on your side! Keep standing and keep believing because you are closer than you think to fulfilling every desire He’s placed inside of you!

FAITH REMOVES WORRIES
