24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C



24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

WHERE WILL I GO?

Lord, I try to please people, you said we should love one another.
You said we should sacrifice for one another.
Father, the more I try the more helpless I am.
I ask myself, where will I go?

Father, where will I go?
The beauty of it all Lord, is that I have found more
Strength and understanding.
Lord it is a difficult task, every sacrifice is worth sacrificing.
I ask myself, where will I go?

Yes Lord, I have found the answer to this question.
Time, efforts I made to please people who may
not know the worth of the sacrifice made,
but the little effort I make to please and serve you.
is more rewarding.
This is the answer to my question.

WHERE WILL I GO?
song of trust
 psalm 23
 Fear not says the Lord.  Our fears are our worst enemies.  Yes it stare us on our faces, if we can conquer our fears, we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us.
 
Question about Misery

Why let people live in misery?
Why give light to those in grief?
They wait for death, but it never comes,
They prefer grave to any treasure.
They are happy till they are dead and buried.
God keeps their future hidden and hems them in every side.
Instead of eating I mourn, and I can never stop groaning.
Everything I fear and dread comes true.
I have no peace, no rest and my troubles never end.


                                                                                                                                                Job 3:20-26



The good thing about suffering is that we in communion with God.  We feel bad, we question him.
 
 psalm 62

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...
