LifeIsAGift! MalouCastaneda

Life is made up of many choices - whether big or small, we have to choose. There is conflict of interests, when we want to arrange the world to suit us rather than ordering ourselves to suit God, we find "hard sayings" in Scripture. God's Words can become difficult and even unacceptable. Many disciples left because they had difficulty accepting and believing on what the Lord Jesus was saying. It's not different even now in our own time. Honest seekers accept Him and find life while others reject Him. Jesus wishes that the sigh of believing and trusting Peter may resound in us: Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the Words of eternal life". 
 
Lord Jesus, help us to believe Your word of life.​ Amen. 
 
God bless us and our homes!

The Crucifix is a vital part of our altars, a reminder that the Son of God was lifted up there for our sins. What is sin? In short, it is anything that does not conform to Jesus' heart, mind and action. Since He is 100% Father's Will, Jesus is our absolute standard if we want to do God's will and live well. A thing is right only if Jesus says it is right. Not because we think so, not because it is convenient, not because it rates high in public opinion, not because many are doing it, and not because some human law says it is. And Jesus is right not just sometimes, but all the time! May the Crucifix remind us to consult Jesus always. 
 
Lord Jesus, by the power of your holy cross You have redeemed the world.​ 
Amen. 
 
God bless us and our homes!

The story of the prodigal son, a wide-open door to God's heart, is an invitation for us to relate with each of the characters: father, younger son, servant, elder son, and analyze the analogy. In the younger son, we can see that loving forgiveness precedes repentance and sorrow. He was able to come back home because of the conviction that forgiveness with love would welcome him. And the elder son by his presumption, that he did not need forgiveness, blinded him, to the loving invitation of the Father. He refused to call the younger son, 'brother'! So this prevents him to enter the banquet of love. We, sinners today, can take heart knowing that our sins will be forgiven the moment we leave the "far 
country" to return to the Father's house, the moment we repent. God is overly extravagant and lavish in the way He pours out forgiveness. 
 
Loving Father, help us to confess our sins and amend our life. Amen.

MARK 6:7-13 
Readings: 
https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/020421.cfm 
 
Jesus chooses the leaders who are called to announce the New Covenant by sharing the Word and by their actions. Jesus has established a new relationship between God and the people. It is not based on laws and fears, but on the love and compassion of God. The law and the threat of punishment had their time and their way in the Old Covenant. It is similar to the way parents of young children need to be “strict” and let them know that there are consequences for disobedience. As children turn into young adults, the love of parents changes from being strict (still loving) disciplinarians to that of counselors and guides. There is a new bond of mutual trust and appreciation. With the increased freedom comes a greater need for responsibility – the “ability to respond” to what God has done for us. So we who have benefitted, tasted the goodness of a more mature relationship with our God must take serious our call to live as responsible members of the Reign of God. We enjoy being loved by a compassionate and forgiving GOD, so we must extend the same towards others. Like the first disciples, we must be willing to go out and proclaim the Good News of the Lord Jesus. We go forth to do God’s will and be instruments through which God can reach out the divine, healing hand to all of us who need it. 
 
Dearest Lord, help us to live as responsible disciples and faithful ambassadors of Your love. Amen. 
 
Godbls us and our homes!

Daily WORD &amp; Reflection MARK 6:7-13 Training the 12

Jesus grew up in Nazareth as an ordinary man. His preaching with wisdom and authority and His miracles were not regarded noteworthy. But that did not make His mission any less important. Faith and discipline are important in the life of a disciple of the Lord Jesus. It takes faith to believe that we are truly His followers when others put us down for our ways of acting out our faith. Every experience in our life, especially those challenging and painful ones, can be sources of our later ministry to others. Because we endure our challenging moments (such as the pandemic, financial issues, health and relational difficulties, etc.) with faith, we are able to reach out to others when they go through similar challenges. Thus we are disciplined not only for our own betterment, but also so that we can help edify and support those whom we meet on our journey of faith. A person need not be accepted or approved by people for God to use him. A true follower of Jesus does not let rejection and disapproval to keep him from serving God. 
 
Lord Jesus, continue to pour out Your Holy Spirit into our lives so that we can be aware of how You discipline us for our own good and the good of others. Amen. 
St Blaise, pray for us
