GRACIOUS WORDS 31st Jan

As we reflect on today’s Gospel, we realize that the words of Jesus are applicable to each of our lives even today. Jesus’ words are life giving and are sharper than any two edged sword.

Jesus wants us to trust Him completely and believe that whatever we ask for in His name will be granted. No prophet is welcome in his own hometown. We may also have had the same experience in our lives, where people might have rejected us because of our family, caste, language and so on.

He makes all things good, in His time. This is important to realize because God works according to His time knowing what is best for us. He sees everything in sub specie aeternitatis (in the light of eternity). 

PATIENT BELIEF 30th Jan

Today’s Gospel asks us to be patient in all the circumstances, because the one who has created us has the supreme power above all.










He will free us from the trials and temptations that we undergo. 

KINGDOM OF GOD 29th Jan

Except Jesus, nobody really knows how Gods kingdom is like, because it is far beyond human beings imagination and limitations. Human knowledge is restricted to a certain level. We do understand imaginable things only with a proper example like a mustard seed, as Jesus tells in parables. We can’t fabricate anything about God’s works for that matter.

Human beings capacity is limited whereas God’s grace is immeasurable, His mercy is inexhaustible, and His peace is inexpressible.

MEANINGFUL LIFE 28th Jan

 “A long life may not be good enough, but a good life is long enough” –Benjamin Franklin.

All of us have the desire to live long. Everybody wants this whether there is joy or sorrow in the world. Therefore, today we see people running to the hospital as soon as a symptom of any sickness arises. 

This is because we want to experience life more on earth. But we must always remember that even though we live a short life and if we have lived it faithfully and well, that is long enough. It doesn’t matter how long we live but what actually matters is how joyfully or meaningfully we live it while still on earth.

SOWER 27th Jan

We have here the great parable of the Gospel, which often causes us to stumble: The parable of the sower. The kingdom resembles, the field. The fruit are the followers of Christ; but the followers of Christ will not always remain faithful to Him.

In earlier and even in current times there were and are many martyrs who are persecuted and they readily accept it as a cross for the greater glory of God. We as Christians ought to bear good fruits so as to contribute to the vineyard of the Lord.
