MiRACLES
"You Israelites, why are you amazed at this… as if we made him walk by our own power or piety?" – Acts 3:12
I'm amazed whenever I experience small miracles. Like the time when I got seven pairs of shoes from my uncle right after my mom commented how worn out mine were. Or the time when I woke up at 3 a.m. and was led to pray for my sister. Unknown to me, she was giving birth then and was in a life-and-eath situation. (She survived that ordeal.) There was also a time when somebody gave me a car a week after I had prayed for one.
But as the years passed, I tended to take for granted the wondrous things that the Lord was doing in my life. Another tendency was to live for the miracles rather than to make myself available to do His will.
American preacher Greg Laurie writes, "The Book of Acts is a record of what Jesus Christ did in the lives of His people over a 30-year span. This is important to realize because...it sounds like the early believers had a miracle happening every few minutes."
True, they saw miracles, but they weren't a constant experience. Our role is to follow Christ in all circumstances, making ourselves available to be used by Him — in a typical "ordinary" day or in a glorious, "miraculous" moment. Ariel Driz
REFLECTION:
Am I available to be used by the Lord in all types of circumstances?
Lord Jesus, I pray for openness to be used by You for Your kingdom here on earth. Amen.

THE GOOD KIND
Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and what he told her. – John 20:18
He ate with them. Bonded with them. They took boat rides and mountain hikes together. He spoke to the crowds in parables but He would take them aside and explain its meanings to them. They were His best buddies. Barkada, as we would say in Filipino.
So I would think that as soon as Jesus rose from the dead, He would have let the Apostles know first. But no. God, in His divine wisdom, chose a woman to be the first witness of His resurrection.
There must be a reason. And I joke that He chose a woman to make sure that the news of His resurrection would spread to the ends of the earth.
Face it, we women are generally more detailed when it comes to telling a story. And boy, can we retell them really fast! But it's not how detailed or how fast we can spread the news that matters but what kind of stories they are. Are they gossip that can destroy other's reputation? Or hearsay that will cause strife? Or chitchat that is negative and doesn't upbuild? Or is it good news that encourages, heals and gives strength to others?
So go ahead, spread the news. But make sure it's a good one. Rissa Singson-Kawpeng
REFLECTION:
Seek Him and you will find Him.
Lord, help me to always remember that You are right within me, even if I don't feel it.

HALLER!
Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. – Matthew 28:9a
As the gust of the autumn breeze brushes the trees, brown dead leaves fall from their branches. Except those of the mighty oak tree. Its rotting leaves continue to stubbornly cling on to the branches — even through winter — long after all the other trees around are barren and twiggy. But a miraculous thing happens though when spring comes. Fresh shoots of leaves emerge from the branches, pushing out the rotten leaves. What the external forces couldn't do, the life from within accomplishes!
In the original text, "Greetings!" in today's reading should have been more accurately translated to the more familiar "Hello!" Or better yet, "Haller!"
Hellos always start something, either a phone conversation or a new friendship. God's promise in His word says "Behold, I will make all things new." Maybe that's why Jesus said "Hello!"
The message of Easter Power is what New Year's resolutions, self-help books, psychology techniques and nagging wives couldn't do, the new life from within — through the resurrection of Jesus — could! It's so personal, and it's for me, because of "Hello!" Jon Escoto
REFLECTION:
Have there been "ugly dead leaves" of sin that still cling so stubbornly in your life? Leave them all behind at the empty tomb. Live out this new life.
Lord, You rose from the dead for us. Let me not forget that You did it personally for me too. Hello Jesus! Make me new!

HOLY WEDNESDAY
THiRTY PiECES OF SiLVER
"What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver. – Matthew 26:15
I cringe every time I think of how Jesus was traded for 30 pieces of silver. That was all it took to hand Him over to the chief priests. Judas Iscariot gave up his love for Christ for a pouch full of money. I cringe even more when I realize that as struggling and sinful Christians, we all play Judas Iscariot. We have all "traded" Jesus for this world's version of 30 pieces of silver.
Each time we fall into sin, we trade our love for Jesus for something else.
Harboring anger and resentment towards another person. Lying to save face.
Not going to Mass because of laziness.
Choosing money over kindness and righteousness.
Each time we choose not to do the loving thing.
We all have our versions of 30 pieces of silver.
I pray that no amount of silver, or its many varied, deceitful versions, will keep our eyes and hearts away from the real treasure – Jesus. Cess Cosico
REFLECTION:
What have I traded Jesus for?
Lord Jesus, may You always be my one true treasure.
