Thursday of week 21 of the year

A prayer of thanksgiving that a Christian community has been born year 2 Would it be nice that all our efforts have not been in vain?  The dreams and hopes of a parent, a president, a parish priest all have the same common denominator - that in the end, looking at the beneficiaries and their conditions, everything is in order. Would we also deprive God of that dream?  to see life in the children He created? All we need to do is to respond to him as children respond to the goodwill of their parents, the parishioners to their parish priest, and the citizens to their country.  Whatever we reap, we shall sow.  If we sow goodness, it will come back to us a hundredfold.

Tuesday of week 21 of the year

Hold on to Tradition  Tradition is the process of handing down a set of beliefs, culture, and behavior from generation to generation. The Tradition of Church is deeply rooted in Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the main source of divine Tradition. Everything is based on the love and mercy of God by which we are alive and that we are taught to love one another as Jesus loves us. When Jesus passed on the Tradition, he passes his very own heart so we may know the ways of the Lord and be oriented towards Him. We need to question if everything that is passed is rooted in God or not.  If we not, we need to renew ourselves and put on an authentic one - one that produces life, love, and mercy.
