Gospel: Luke
12:8-12
Jesus
said to his disciples: “I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others
the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever denies me
before others will be denied before the angels of God.
“Everyone
who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who
blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you
before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or
what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the Holy Spirit
will teach you at that moment what you should say.”

Reflection:
Are you
proud with your relationship with Jesus? Do you own it like a badge of honor?
Of course you will answer in the affirmative. However, this not always true
because there are instances that you betray Jesus for the fleeting things of
this world.
The sad
truth is our profession of love for Jesus is often times lip service only. When
we are faced with temptation we oftentimes give up Jesus in favor of the
fleeting temptation. When we are put on
the spot to make a stand for Jesus we betray Him easily just like how Judas
betrayed Jesus.
If we say
that we love Jesus we must be proud of it and we must live it, we must not
betray Jesus for the things of this world. For what is this world compared to
having a relationship with our Lord and Savior?
What
would it do you if you acquire all the things and cravings of this temporary
world but in the process you lose your relationship with Jesus? Nothing except
misery and problems! WE always have to remember that what we presently own and
have we will leave or it will leave us.
How about
Jesus? He will never leave us, in good times and in bad, in our sorrows and
triumphs and in life in this world and beyond this world. He will always be
there for us. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
