Independence Day of Sri Lanka-Wednesday 4th Week in OT - Year A


On this 78th Independence Day, are we truly free? Financially, we’re enslaved to other nations. Only Jesus grants true freedom, through total dependence on Him. Free will leads to slavery; surrendering to God’s WILL brings liberation. Just as Mother and St. Joseph protected Jesus from Herod’s evil, Our Lady of Lanka protected us during WW2. Keep a divine secret with the Lord, hidden from the devil, like Herod never found the Child. Evil one tempts us toward addictions and immorality, but our Mother intercedes, as Our Lady of Lourdes, Fatima, Guadalupe, or Sri Lanka. Let us ask her to make Sri Lanka a cenacle of unity, and seek divine independence by fully depending on her Son.

Happy Independence Day & God Bless you all!!

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!
