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. …

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. ...
