EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

18TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor decay can destroy.

IF I WERE JESUS

The earthly Jesus in every human:

I will be very proud knowing that my I came from my heavenly kingdom.

I will be arrogant knowing that my Father God is the Omnipotent, Omniscience and Omnipresent.

I will use my power and flaunt it for all to know that I am the Son of God.

I will choose those who love me and reward them because they Love and flatter me.

I will perform miracles and make sure that I receive praises.

I will appear and disappear to show how powerful I am.

I will in the wilderness, do what I was tempted to do

Whenever I want to heal, deliver and perform any miracles

I will make it public to receive men’s approval

I will amass wealth and flaunt it for all to see.

The bread that is my body in the Eucharist,

I will make sure that all see my really flesh,

The wine that I that is my blood during the institution of the Lord’s super,

I will make sure it is really blood for all to see.

Above all, on the cross at my crucifixion as I am asked to come down

from the cross so that the world will believe that I am truly the Son of God

I will surely show them that t is within my power do so that I can.

There are many challenges and audacity for me to prove that I am the Son of God,

that I will not hesitate to prove my identity as the Son of the Most High God.

Trying to claim equality with my heavenly Father, not being humble to

accepting a shameful death.

Thank you Lord Jesus for you never did what you were challenged to do.

Knowing that truly you are the Son of God most High. Unlike Lucifer who

Wanted equality with God and was jealous of you, as such he rebelled.

If you Lord Jesus did men’s bidding, there would have been no difference

between you and Lucifer. You were obedient even unto Death.

A price paid for our redemption, and freedom from slavery.

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter 'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading Acts 6:1-7 They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide - ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28 I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
