Thursday of Week 3 in Ordinary Time - Year A


You will receive in the measure you give to your brother. That is, what you give is what you save in heaven. One who has more will be given more, from the one who has less, even what he has will be taken away. You can’t live with an understanding that what you have is what you earn, no, you’re a branch CONNECTED to the vine, so your fruits belong to everyone. God gives you to feed others through you.

When you’re a lamp you have to burn to light up others. When you enter a house you do not admire the lamp but other things lit up by the lamp. So God put you on a lamp stand not to shine yourself, but to be a light to others. Be mindful of your hidden lives, because God’s light reveals everything. Thus come to Him with a clear conscience and also know that what you give on earth is what you earn in heaven!

Friday 3rd Week in Ordinary Time - Year A

No matter how accomplished you’re, you cannot take a break in your calling, like David did, as enemy prowls around all the time. Jesus compares God’s kingdom to a mustard seed, day & night, even when you’re sleeping the seed grows. When you scatter the WORD God does the rest making your faith grow. But if you you took a break, parasitic plants will grow and destroy the shrub, your faith. Thus no vacation in your vocation. Till you die you have to fight & be on guard.

Tuesday, Week 4 in Ordinary Time - Year A

Today’s theme is father-child relationship. David wept over his rebellious son Absalom’s death, while God the Father gave His only Son to save us. Jairus begged Jesus to heal his dying daughter. Woman suffering from hemorrhage for years—after every medical treatment failed—in bold faith, secretly touched Jesus’ cloak and was instantly healed. When she confessed, Jesus called her “daughter,” forging a personal CONNECTION beyond the miracle. Crowds pressed around Jesus, merely attending church in masses means nothing without personally encountering Jesus. At Jairus’ house, mockers blocked miracles through unbelief; Jesus took the girl’s hand, saying “Talitha kum,” and raised her. When medicine fails and you’re at your lowest, reach for Jesus—He will reach back, and CONNECT with you forever. Woman touched Jesus, Jesus touched the dead girl, thus in your weakness, touch Him; when you can’t move anymore, He will come and touch you with life. God Bless you all!
