JOSEPH SON OF DAVID, DO NOT BE AFRAID 19th March



God always takes the first step in all situations and circumstances. What we have to do is to respond to this initiative that God takes. Mary is a good example of perfect surrender to God’s will as also her husband Joseph who does what the angel of the Lord tells him in a dream.

I AM THE SON OF GOD 18th March



Jesus is accused of blasphemy; the Jews weren’t able to accept what they called the tall claim of Jesus. In our lives too we come across people who make such claims; do we immediately judge them? Do we attentively listen to what the person is saying?

THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE 16th March



In our day to day life we are faced by many problems where some problems seem too difficult to be tackled and solution seems impossible, at that point of time do we seek Gods help or do we with our human power try to overcome the problem? At times we do so and when the problem goes out of hand we blame God and say he’s the cause of it.

Today’s scripture tells us of Gods promise to save us from all our tribulations when we call out to Him in faith. In the first reading Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego are saved from the furnace of fire as they asked Gods help and God did protect them. In the Gospel Jesus tells that He is the one who will free them from sin. From this we see we have a loving God who is every ready to help and save us from all harm and evil.

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU; GO AND SIN NO MORE 13th March



Though Jesus didn’t attend any school, He was given a number of tests by the scribes and Pharisees. Our Lord and God, came to free us from the clutches of sin so that we may be clean. Jesus said to the crowd, ’The one who is sinless may cast a stone.’ All having sinned in one way or the other left the stones and went away. Jesus the spotless one had the power to condemn her but He gave her an opportunity to mend her ways.

I KNOW THAT HIS TESTIMONY IS VALID 10th March



God’s approval is what we should seek for and not human approval. With God’s approval comes God’s will, however on the other hand to get human approval is very difficult and at times risky and unhealthy. One important thing to remember is that all of us are sent by God to fulfill the mission that He has planned for us.
