My Reflections for Saturday February 4; 1st reading 1st Kings 3:4-13

My Reflections:

In our first reading the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and said: "Ask something of me and I will give it to you." Solomon did not ask for any material things; he instead asked for an understanding heart to judge the people and to distinguish right from wrong. Why did Solomon ask for this wisdom instead of temporary things?

Because the most important things in this world are not those that are seen or perceive by our worldly senses. The most important things are those that are felt by our hearts and minds. It doesn’t matter anymore if we are not rich if we don’t have power. It’s enough that we are able to guide, nurture and mentor those who are in our sphere of influence.

The legacy that lasts is not the structures that we’ve built but the hearts that we've touched and converted.

If the Lord will give us the same opportunity what will we ask from Him? 

My Reflections for January 6 Friday Luke 3:23-38

My Reflections:

Death is a unifying factor in the family for example during wake. We will be introduced to relatives whom we have never seen in our entire lives. Then we normally talk with them; through this we will be able to trace how we are intricately connected.

As we talk with our relatives let us take this opportunity to get to know them better. Let us be nice and helpful towards them and let us humble ourselves before them.  

Who knows with these behaviors we might be the instruments for them to get closer to Jesus. … 

May we all have a Blessed, Happy and Prosperous New Year!

My Reflections for The Feast of the Holy Family; December 30 Friday Luke 2:22, 39-40

My Reflections:

What is the best gift that a husband/wife can give to God and to their spouses? It’s faithfulness to their marriage vows; this is the best offering that we can bequeath God and our spouses. What is the best gift that we can give our children? The best gift is not the latest gadget/s but to implant In their hearts the love of God for them. Children must know that there’s a God that is in control of everything in this world.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph both spouses were faithful to each other. Both spouses presented the young Jesus to the Lord.

Are we still faithful to our marriage vows? Do we still bring our children to the church for Mass? Do we still teach them about our faith?   

Let us preserve the values of the Holy Family in our own respective families. …   

My Reflections for December 14 Wednesday Luke 18b-23

My Reflections:

Many are looking for happiness and fulfillment; they try to look for it within their wealth but they failed. We also look for our happiness and fulfillment in the many facets of our lives and we end up holding an empty bag.

The disciples of John were sent by him to Jesus to ask this question: 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?' Jesus answered them by citing His many miracles and healings. 

We know that Jesus is the one who can cure us with everything that is bothering us. Let us not look elsewhere; let us focus our sights on Him.

My Gospel Reflections for Monday November 21, Luke 2:1-4

My Reflections:

Pureness of intentions is always first with Jesus, He doesn’t care who you are, even your social status in life it doesn’t count on Him. What is important with Him is our  desire to help regardless of the amount that we give.

This is what we must follow when we treat people; because we are easily awed by the rich and we oftentimes look down on the poor. We must not judge based on their life’s status we rather judge them based on how sincere they are. But how can we decipher that an individual is sincere and true with his intention to help when we don’t have power to read a person’s mind?

This is very simple: We must always be true and sincere with whatever we say and do. ...
