My Reflection for August 11, Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Luke 12:35-40
My
Reflection:
There is
a story of a holy man who would always find time for God and his fellowmen.
When he was asked why he was like that he would always tell them that this is
his way of preparing for the coming of the Lord. He would compare the coming of
the lord with death which comes to us without warning at all.
Jesus in
our gospel for this Sunday tells us to always be prepared and vigilant servant
of the Lord. To be like the Israelites in our first reading who patiently
waited with faith and courage for God to liberate them from the bondage of the Egyptians.
How could
we become vigilant and prepared servant of the Lord? By serving and obeying the
Lord without any reservation. By having faith in HIM faith that is alive and
working. This is the only way wherein we could be prepared and vigilant servant
of the Lord.
If death
will come to us which will certainly happen on God’s appointed time. Then, we
are prepared we have nothing to fear for we will be in heaven with God.
What if
we are not prepared and not vigilant servants? Where will we end up?

My Reflection for June 16, Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time: Luke 7:36-8:3
My
Reflection:
A young
lady who had five children from five different men was already labeled as an
immoral sinner by her siblings and parents.
Her family has already given-up on her even if deep in her heart she was
telling herself that she was ready to live a renewed life which is very
different from her sinful past.
In our
first reading for this Sunday we have King David who committed sin against God
by coveting the wife of his soldier Uraih. He purposely feed Uriah to their
enemies. So that he would be killed and hence possess his wife without any
complications. The action of King David was sinful but notwithstanding his sin
he was forgiven by God because he humbly admitted his sinfulness before God
almighty.
Similarly,
we have in our gospel a sinful woman who humbly went to Jesus to honor Him by
kissing His feet and anointing it with ointment. She cried before Jesus as if
begging Jesus for forgiveness and second chance. Jesus saw her humility and her
honest desire to start a new life. That’s why despite of her grave sins she was
forgiven by Jesus.
There is
always hope and forgiveness for us sinners no matter how grave the sins that we
have committed against Jesus. …
