Day 33 Of Lent: Suffering For a Just Cause(Jeremiah. 20:10-13/John 10:31-42)

Image
The story of Jeremiah and Jesus in the first reading and gospel reading of this morning respectively, shows that when one is on the right track trying to do God's will that the person can pass through some moments of adversity. The Christian life is one that has a lot of crucibles that we must pass through before we reach our goal. Anyone who accepts the Christian faith and believes that it will be a cosy and smooth ride all the way must be making a big mistake. Living out our Christian lives in an authentic manner entails walking through the narrow and rough part of life and we can only survive it if we walk along with Jesus Christ who knows all the bad spots and how to avoid them. Jesus will tell his disciples that whoever will follow Him must carry a cross and the person must be ready to deny himself or herself in order to be able to follow Him welll. When one faces persecutions, trials, mob action, detraction and even being falsely accused like they did to Jesus and Jer...

Come Let Us Return To The Lord (Hosea 6:1-3)

There is a time for everything on the face of the earth (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) In the life of the Church there are various seasons and by tomorrow we shall begin the season of lent. This is the forty days ( not including sundays) of fasting, prayers and penitence before Easter. It is influenced among other things by the forty day fasting tradition, an ascetical one based on imitation of Jesus' life who was led into the desert by the Spirit immediately after His baptism at the Jordan.

Sometimes in life we are driven very far away from the presence of the Lord by our sensual passions or excessive quest to acquire and possess material things. In the course of this pursuit of ephemeral things, we tend to fluctuate or backslide in our faith, spirituality, prayer life, holy living and when it reaches to the extreme our hearts get cold that we no longer go...

Seeking The Lord With All My Heart (JEREMIAH 29:11-14)

The lord's declaration to me this day is that He has a plan for me, a plan to prosper me and not to harm me, a plan to give me hope and a future. This is the reason I have to seek the Lord with all my heart. God is Spirit and it is only those who seek Him with all their heart that will find Him. He listens and answers when we call upon Him and pray to Him, because we seek Him with all our heart. I seek the Lord, because He is the true source of my happiness and joy. I seek the Lord, because He thinks and works for my good at all times. I seek the Lord, because my future is guaranteed and secured with Him. I seek the Lord, because my help comes from Him and He gives me victory over my troubles and enemies. I seek the Lord, because He is Truth and does not lie and He keeps His words always. I seek the Lord, because He is good and He heals all my infirmity both spiritual and physical. The reasons why I seek the Lord is many and uncountable and if you are sincere to yours...
