Singing for God

"… He called out, 'Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.'" – Luke 8:8

I thank God for instituting many changes in our company. But the most
significant change was the time when our company president entered the Renewal.
Slowly but surely, he became bolder in sharing God's Word during the regular
company meetings and conferences. His company targets and objectives were drawn
from his Christian knowledge. I, too, became bold such that my presentations
always included biblical quotations as reference.
A change was also introduced in the prayer meeting at the office. From the
traditional "sharing" on how God works in people's lives, people were also asked

to sing Christian songs to give glory and honor to the Lord. Such singing
brought encouragement to the sales people attending the prayer meeting. I have
also sung in those occasions.

For many years now, our company has topped the sales in the group of companies.
Truly, God honors those who honor Him openly and boldly.Donna España

REFLECTION:
Did you know that singing praise and worship is doubly praying to God?

My heart sings out the goodness and love of God.

1st READING

The resurrection of the dead is all about transformation of the mortal into the
immortal. The body that enters the tomb, in the case of the human person, rises
from the dead to a life of immortality. Jesus makes this possible by being the
first to travel that path. As it is with His baptism, He did not need to have
any sins forgiven as He was sinless; so it is with His resurrection — He did not

need to experience this because He is already immortal in the sense that He is
fully God as well as man.

1 Corinthians 15:35-37, 42-49
35 Brothers and sisters: Someone may say, "How are the dead raised? With what
kind of body will they come back?" 36 You fool! What you sow is not brought to
life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be but a
bare kernel of wheat, perhaps, or of some other kind. 42 So also is the
resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible. 43

It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised
powerful. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there
is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one. 45 So, too, it is written,
"The first man, Adam, became a living being," the last Adam a life-giving
spirit. 46 But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the
spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from
heaven. 48 As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the
heavenly one, so also are the heavenly. 49 Just as we have borne the image of
the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one.

P S A L M

Psalm 56:10c-12, 13-14
R: I will walk in the presence of God, in the light of the living.
9 [10] Now I know that God is with me. 10 [11] In God, in whose promise I glory,

11 [12] in God I trust without fear; what can flesh do against me? (R) 12 [13] I

am bound, O God, by vows to you; your thank offerings I will fulfill. 13 [14]
For you have rescued me from death, my feet, too, from stumbling; that I may
walk before God in the light of the living. (R)

G O S P E L

One of the strongest temptations the world uses to distract us from our faith is

busyness. We need to be aware of this so we can work against it. The ancient
Greeks were very aware of the need for solitude and reflection of life and its
mysteries. We need to rediscover this necessity and practice it in our lives.
Let us listen to Socrates for inspiration: The unreflected life is not worth
living.

Luke 8:4-15
4 When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another
journeying to Jesus, he spoke in a parable. 5 "A sower went out to sow his seed.

And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of
the sky ate it up. 6 Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it
withered for lack of moisture. 7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns
grew with it and choked it. 8 And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew,

it produced fruit a hundredfold." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has

ears to hear ought to hear." 9 Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of
this parable might be. 10 He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the
kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known
through parables so that 'they may look but not see, and hear but not
understand.' 11 "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of
God. 12 Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the devil comes and
takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved. 13

Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with
joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time
of trial. 14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have
heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and
pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit. 15 But as for the seed

that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word,
embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance."

my reflections
t h i n k : "The unreflected life us not worth living."

Men and Women of the Word

When I was still a seminarian, I underwent a program called CLAYE (Catholic Lay
Evangelization). It involves house-to-house visitation and sharing of the Word
of God. I was assigned to visit houses at a certain parish. Clutching my Bible,
I visited a house and saw a woman at her front lawn. I greeted her good morning.

The moment she saw me, she immediately went inside her house without saying
anything.

That afternoon, I saw the same woman in the parish church. She recognized me. I
asked her why she did not entertain me. She told me she thought I was a Mormon.
When I asked her why, she told me it was because "you were clutching a Bible."
Why is it that when we see someone with a Bible, we associate him to be anything

but a Catholic? The answer is simple. We have lost our identity as men and women

of the Word. Catholics are no longer known to be people who soak in the Word of
God.
Friends, let me remind you. The Bible is a Catholic document. It was compiled by

Catholics. The Canon of Scriptures was formalized by the Catholic Church. If
there is anyone to be associated with the Bible, it should be Catholics.
Today, Jesus calls us the soil upon which the seed of the Word of God is sown.
Our vocation is to be filled with God's Word. Read the Word of God. Pray the
Word of God. Live the Word of God. Let us recover our identity as men and women
of the Word. Fr. Joel O. Jason

Reflection Question:
St. Jerome, a Catholic saint who translated the Bible from Greek to Latin, is
known to have said, "Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ." How
well do you know the Scriptures? That will determine how much you know Christ.

Lord Jesus, You feed us with the Word and the Sacraments. Rekindle our passion
for knowing You in Your Word. Amen.

St. Dominic Trach, pray for us.

MORE THAN ENOUGH

"God is able to make every grace abundant for you... you may have an abundance
for every good work." – 2 Corinthians 9:8

My birthday, August 11, always falls on a "petsa de peligro," a day when money
is running out because payday is still a few days away. One birthday, I only had

P500 so I just invited Mom for merienda at a dimsum house nearby. We ate a
delicious meal with gratitude to the Lord for His blessings. As we stepped out
of the restaurant, a boy who didn't look like a street kid since he was neatly
dressed, begged for some food because his grandma forgot to leave him his
breakfast. I went back into the restaurant to buy him some food.
Back home, my Lolo Juanito paid me a visit for my birthday. But instead of
giving me a gift, he asked if he could have some money for a haircut. How could
I refuse when he rarely asks anything from me? I gladly handed him my last P250.
I was left with only change in my pocket but it was one of the best birthdays
I've had. God taught me that He gives you more than enough and I felt immense
joy in sharing whatever little I had. And guess what? I had a number of
post-birthday celebrations the days after, all for free, charged to the love of
family and friends. Indeed, the Lord cannot be outdone in generosity! Dina
Pecaña (dpecana@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
"Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is
giving me that which you need more than I do." (Kahlil Gibran)

Lord Jesus, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve You as You deserve, to
give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and

not to seek for rest, to labor and not to seek reward, except that of knowing
that I do Your will. Amen. (St. Ignatius of Loyola)

1st READING

Paul is speaking about cheerful giving of our money to those in need. He tells
us that God promises that those who are generous will never be in want. How
generous am I with my money, my gifts, my time and my talents in the service of
the Lord? Is there anything more I could or should be giving?

2 Corinthians 9:6-10
6 Brothers and sisters: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and
whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each must do as already
determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8
Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all
things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good
work. 9 As it is written: "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his
righteousness endures forever." 10 The one who supplies seed to the sower and
bread for food will supply and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of
your righteousness.

P S A L M

Psalm 112:1-2, 5-6, 7-8, 9
R: Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
1 Blessed the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commands. 2
His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be
blessed. (R) 5 Well for the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his
affairs with justice; 6 he shall never be moved; the just man shall be in
everlasting remembrance. (R) 7 An evil report he shall not fear; his heart is
firm, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear till he
looks down upon his foes. (R) 9 Lavishly he gives to the poor; his generosity
shall endure forever; his horn shall be exalted in glory. (R)

G O S P E L

St. Lawrence was martyred for his faith in Christ. Dying to ourselves is not
easy. It hurts sometimes to be selfless and loving. Like Jesus though, dying to
ourselves will produce a rich harvest in other people's lives. And the Father
will honor our selflessness. Are we ready to follow the example of St. Lawrence
and, for that matter, Jesus Himself?

John 12:24-26
24 Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of
wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it
dies, it produces much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever
hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. 26 Whoever
serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The
Father will honor whoever serves me."

my reflections
t h i n k : Dying to ourselves will produce a rich harvest in other people's
lives.

FEAST OF ST. LAWRENCE

Today, the Church honors and celebrates the life of Lawrence, deacon of the
Roman Church in the 3rd century. He was deacon to Pope Sixtus during the
persecution of Emperor Valerian. Lawrence is well known for his acts of kindness

to the poor, widows and those less fortunate. He would often sell even the
sacred vessels in order to have money to give to the poor. He was untiring in
his selflessness and zeal for the anawim of God. Even as Pope Sixtus was being
led away to his execution, Lawrence was eager to follow to the point of death.
He was soon to follow the footsteps of the Vicar of Christ.
Lawrence died to himself in this life and, as Jesus says, produced much fruit.
He was truly a servant to the servant of God. He was the grain of wheat that
fell to the ground, crushed and grounded for the Kingdom. Lawrence is truly
honored by God the Father in the ranks of heaven today. In an egotistic society
that exalts and glorifies self, Lawrence's message speaks loud and clear, a
message we easily reject. The world will convey a contradicting message: to be
selfish, to put yourself before others whatever the cost. However, the message
of Lawrence speaks of life and glory. Jesus says that if anyone wants to serve
Him, let him or her follow. We know what Jesus went through in obedience to the
Father — nothing short of crucifixion.
Let us be willing to follow Jesus wherever He leads us. We have Lawrence to pray

for and encourage us on the road that leads to life and fulfillment. Fr. Brian
Steele, MGL

Reflection Question:
Will you die to yourself today — your needs, desires and sinful attitudes — in
order to live?

Make my heart firm in You, Lord, trusting in Your steadfast and generous love.
Amen.

St. Acrates, pray for us.

The Warm Filipino Hospitalit y

"The Lord appears to him from afar: With age-old love I have loved you; so I
have kept my mercy toward you." – Jeremiah 31:3

Do you think Filipinos lose their warm hospitality when they change nationality?

I don't think so. My husband and I stayed with Filipino friends who have been in

Canada and the US for more than 20 years and we were recipients of such
wonderful character trait.

Grace is an accountant in Toronto. We didn't even know her before we landed in
Toronto but our niece who was getting married entrusted us to her. She hosted us

for meals, drove for us and brought me to a doctor when I had a bout of
allergies. She was an angel sent by God to take care of me.
Evelyn is a nurse in Chicago. When my allergies did not improve with the
medication from Canada, she had another doctor see me. At their house one night
when I caught the chills, she hugged me with so much warmth. I felt she was my
older sister who had recently passed away and whom I missed.
Through their sincere caring, I felt the love and mercy of God. Through them I
felt the amazing grace of God flow through me. Through them my trust in God was
strengthened. Donna España (donna@homeliving.com.ph)

REFLECTION:
Your next visitor could be Jesus knocking on your door. How will you treat Him?

Lord, You send angels to minister to us in our time of need. Thank You so much
for Your love and mercy.

1st READING

God has bought you because of His love for you. It is the knowledge of a truth
such as this that gives us the strength and courage to persevere in our service
of the Gospel. God has paid for us with the life of His Son; it is not much to
ask that we give something in return for such generosity.

Jeremiah 31:1-7
1 At that time, says the LORD, I will be the God of all the tribes of Israel,
and they shall be my people. 2 Thus says the LORD: The people that escaped the
sword have found favor in the desert. As Israel comes forward to be given his
rest, 3 the LORD appears to him from afar. "With age-old love I have loved you;
so I have kept my mercy toward you. 4 Again I will restore you, and you shall be

rebuilt, O virgin Israel; carrying your festive tambourines, you shall go forth
dancing with the merrymakers. 5 Again you shall plant vineyards on the mountains

of Samaria; those who plant them shall enjoy the fruits. 6 Yes, a day will come
when the watchmen will call out on Mount Ephraim, "Rise up, let us go to Zion,
to the LORD, our God." 7 For thus says the LORD: Shout with joy for Jacob, exult

at the head of the nations; proclaim your praise and say: The LORD has delivered

his people, the remnant of Israel.

P S A L M

Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12ab, 13
R: The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guard his flock.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, proclaim it on distant coasts, and say:

He who scattered Israel, now gathers them together, he guards them as a shepherd

his flock. (R) 11 The LORD shall ransom Jacob, he shall redeem him from the hand

of his conqueror. 12 Shouting, they shall mount the heights of Zion, they shall
come streaming to the LORD's blessings. (R) 13 Then the virgins shall make merry

and dance, and young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, I

will console and gladden them after their sorrows. (R)

G O S P E L

Today we remember St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests. This man

lived a very simple life spending up to 18 hours a day in the confessional.
People would travel (read walk because they were very poor) from hundreds of
miles away just to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation with him. His holiness
attracted many to him but his fame never distracted him from his ministry. Day
after day he would pray, eat a little and hear confessions. It may sound boring
to you, but it was joy to this man of great faith.

Matthew 15:21-28
21 At that time Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a

Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord,
Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." 23 But he did not say a word

in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she
keeps calling out after us." 24 He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel." 25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying,

"Lord, help me." 26 He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the
children and throw it to the dogs." 27 She said, "Please, Lord, for even the
dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." 28 Then Jesus
said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as
you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

my reflections
t h i n k : God has paid for us with the life of His Son; it is not much to ask
that we give something in return for such generosity.

EVERLASTING LOVE

We talk about it, we sing about it. We preach about it, we hear about it. We act

upon it — love. It is the topic of television dramas, gossip magazines, and our
daily conversations. Good or bad, it is part of our lives. We have been created
to love because the God of love has created us to be.
Jeremiah is the prophet who reminds the people of God's love, as prophets are
supposed to do, although no one ever seems to pay attention! The Israelites,
driven into exile, experience a loss of hope. They have felt abandoned by their
own country and Jeremiah speaks a message of hope. Challenging and confronting,
nevertheless, hopeful. God reminds the people, through the prophet, that God has

loved them with an everlasting love, an age-old love, and that His affection and

mercy is everlasting, constant and never ending. The prophet reminds the people
of the love of God that will restore and rebuild their lives.
The image is that of the collapsed ruins of a city, totally destroyed and
annihilated. Yet, the truth is that love will prevail. God's love always
prevails. Is it not the same as we meditate on the Cross of Jesus? Seemingly
destroyed, annihilated, and ruined in body, Jesus dies — only to rise again in
all glory and power from the Father. This is the triumph of the love of God.
This is our hope. Are there areas in your life where you feel lost or ruined?
Has sin taken hold of you? Do you feel imprisoned by your faults and failures?
Do you need to be rebuilt and restored? Then trust in the word of the prophet,
"God has loved you with an everlasting love and His affection for you is
constant and never ending." Fr. Brian Steele, MGL

Reflection Question:
Where in my life do I feel abandoned by family, friends or God? What areas of my

life need to be rebuilt and restored in the Lord?

Lord God, Your love is everlasting. May this love heal me and restore me to Your

grace and holiness. Come, Holy Sprit, rebuild my life in grace and strength.
Amen.

St. Lua, pray for us.

Don’t Deteriorate; You Can Keep Growing!

        My mother is 84 years old and she hasn’t stopped learning.
       On her desk is a huge pile of books.
       She still loves to read.
Obviously, she’ll tell you that all other books pale in comparison to
the books I write. (Hehe.) She is, after all, the Founder, Chairman,
and President of Bo’s Fans Club International.
But she doesn’t just read.
Last week, she was watching TV and asked me, “Bo, come, listen to this.”
I sat beside her and we watched EWTN together.
EWTN is a Catholic channel from the US and she loves listening to
profound lectures there. Fantastic.
I’m amazed that at 84, she hasn’t stopped learning.
I hope that when I reach her age, I’ll be like her too.

Do You Prioritize Your Growth?

       I believe growth is a choice you need to make it daily.
       Deterioration is easy. You don’t have to do anything to
deteriorate. Automatically, you’ll deteriorate, decay, and die.
This is the reason why I read 3 to 4 books a week.
       I also love listening to talks, seminars, coaches, and mentors.
       Can you imagine how much money I spend on books, audio
seminars, and mentoring programs each month? Let me give you a clue:
It’s the biggest part of my monthly budget. Bigger than food. Bigger
than clothes. Bigger than equipment. I invest in my intellectual
growth.
       But the investment is all worth it.
Believe me.
I’ve grown spiritually, emotionally, and financially.
I invite you to keep learning. It’s the secret to expanding your world.
       In many issues of Soulfood, I invite you to various ways of
learning and growing. Today, check out these events…

1.Achieve Financial Freedom; Join my “How To Be Truly Rich Seminar”on August 7.
Many of my friends who are now enjoying financially freedom began
their journey to freedom in my powerful seminar. I give the How To Be
Truly Rich Seminar as a private seminar to companies. I charge
P8,000++ per participant. But because I want to help more people and
help them attain financial freedom, I open this to the public for only
P497 per person—just to cover basic fees for the venue, audio system,
etc. But you have to sign up quickly. Sign up right away because seats
are limited. For more information, click here now.

2.Learn How To Create Your Wealth; Join my Truly Rich Financial
Coaching Program on August 13 and 14.
These intensive two whole days will open your eyes to how ordinary
people become wealthy. You’ll learn how my mentors and I invest in the
Stock Market, Mutual Funds, Real Estate, and Business. This program
has changed the financial lives of many people. I still get awed by
the stories of past attendees of this program how they grew their
wealth after applying the practical steps of my Truly Rich Financial
Coaching Program. Limited seats only. Sign up now. For more
information, click here now.

3.Earn Money From Home In Cebu—August 13, 14, and 15
My internet Guru Jomar Hilario is giving two Seminars/Workshops in
Cebu. The first one is called "How to Work From Home as a Virtual
Assistant" Seminar on August 13 at the Maxwell Hotel. If you like
working from home, this might be for you. Check out the world of a
Virtual Assistant. Or personal internet assistant. For more
information, click here now.
And for those who want to sell online, set up their own internet
business, or earn through blogging, this workshop is for you:
“Internet Marketing Hands On Workshop” on August 14 to 15 at Emall,
Cebu.  Very sorry, only 27 participants will be allowed to join this
Hands-On Workshop. For more information, click here now.

       May your dreams come true,

       Bo Sanchez

PS. Live Too Far And Can’t Attend These Events? I have an online club
that thousands have joined already and are making them grow in their
financial life. It’s my TrulyRichClub.   You’ll learn in the comfort
of your home. A few months ago, I taught Gold Members how to invest in
the Stock Market. Tomorrow, I’ll be sending my Stocks Update to my
members, telling them of 4 new Stocks to buy. For more information,
click here.

Memorial of St. Martha, disciple of the Lord

work in progress

Can I not do to you, house of Israel, as this potter has done? says
the Lord. Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in
my hand, house of Israel. – Jeremiah 18:6

“Lord, I am unworthy of Your love! I am a sinful person!” A newly
baptized sister in our community cried profusely as we prayed for her.
We whispered in her ears that our God is a merciful God. He knows all
our faults and weaknesses and forgives us when we repent. He gives us
the grace to stay away from sin if we ask for it.
I have encountered people who feel unworthy of joining renewal
communities because they think they have committed the worst sins in
their lives. But we are all unworthy; it is God who, in His infinite
kindness and love, makes us worthy to receive His gifts. What is
needed is for us to repent of all our sins.
We are all “works in progress” in God’s hands. Just like the clay in
the potter’s hands, whenever we do not turn out to be what He wants us
to be, He continues working on us and molding us. What is needed is
for us to yield to God’s leading and to pray for delivery from the
bondage of sin and wrongdoing. Bay Cabrera (baycabrera@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
Do we seek God’s mercy whenever we are tempted to fall into sin?

Lord, grant me the grace to surrender myself to Your molding.

COMPANION

1st READING

The epistle of love, as it is sometimes called, exhorts us to love as
Christ has first loved us. Jesus did not wait for us to become good
before He loved us, nor did He wait until we sinned no more. He died
while we were sinners to prove that His love for us was of the highest
kind possible — unconditional. Let us pray for the grace to love one
another in the same way.

1 John 4:7-16 (or Jeremiah 18:1-6)
7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone
who loves is begotten by God and knows God. 8 Whoever is without love
does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this way the love of God was
revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might
have life through him. 10 In this is love: not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins. 11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. 12 No one
has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and
his love is brought to perfection in us. 13 This is how we know that
we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit. 14
Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as
savior of the world. 15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of
God, God remains in him and he in God. 16 We have come to know and to
believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains
in love remains in God and God in him.

P S A L M

Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11 (or Psalm 146:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6ab)
R: I will bless the Lord at all times.
1 [2] I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall be ever in
my mouth. 2 [3] Let my soul glory in the LORD; the lowly will hear me
and be glad. (R) 3 [4] Glorify the LORD with me, let us together extol
his name. 4 [5] I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me
from all my fears. (R) 5 [6] Look to him that you may be radiant with
joy, and your faces may not blush with shame. 6 [7] When the afflicted
man called out, the LORD heard, and from all his distress he saved
him. (R) 7 [8] The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear
him, and delivers them. 8 [9] Taste and see how good the LORD is;
happy the man who takes refuge in him. (R) 9 [10] Fear the LORD, you
his holy ones, for nought is lacking to those who fear him. 10 [11]
The great grow poor and hungry; but those who seek the LORD want for
no good thing. (R)

G O S P E L

Martha has great faith. How does yours compare with hers? So often our
faith is lacking. This should not lead us to despair, as that is a
sin. Rather it should inspire us to pray for a deeper and stronger
faith. Faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit that we need to earnestly
desire and seek. If we do not ask for it, we probably won’t get it.

John 11:19-27 (or Matthew 13:47-53 or Luke 10:38-42)
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them
about their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she
went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus,
“Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 [But]
even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” 23
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha said to him, “I
know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus told
her, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even
if he dies, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me
will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord.
I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the
one who is coming into the world.”

my reflections
t h in k : Faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit that we need to
earnestly desire and seek.

SABBATH

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

Jesus arrives only to find that Lazarus has already died. Martha then
makes an interesting comment when she speaks to Jesus saying that she
does not believe he would have died if Jesus had come earlier. She
does not seem to be accusing Jesus of anything, just recognizing that
His presence would have made a difference for Lazarus. We see a latent
faith in the resurrection that Jesus draws out and makes explicit. He
then calls out to Lazarus and raises him from the dead!
Jesus is not just all about words and pious platitudes — He has the
power to transform a situation in ways that no man before Him has ever
demonstrated. It is a miracle such as this one that gives credence to
the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead by the Father. If Jesus
can raise Lazarus from the dead, then it takes only a simple step to
believe that God the Father has the power to do the same for His Son,
Jesus.
It is important that we reflect upon the hope of the resurrection as
it is this belief that sets Christianity apart from other religions.
It is an extraordinary belief to put one’s life under its promise. Yet
this is what our faith demands of us: belief in the impossible and
trust in that which seems highly improbable. Perhaps it is not such a
strange thing to demand when we consider that 99 percent of those who
use computers would find it impossible to explain how it works. Yet we
are quite willing to entrust our lives to computers in many different
ways. With God, at least it is possible to have a relationship; with
the computer, this is definitely not the case.
Martha expresses her belief in the resurrection and Jesus tells her
that it is through Him, Who is the resurrection and the life, that she
will experience the resurrection. This is both now, in the life of
Lazarus, and later when she passes from this life. Fr. Steve Tynan,
MGL

Reflection Question:
How does my belief in the resurrection from the dead govern the way I
make choices and live my life?

Father, thank You for the promise of the resurrection. Help me to be
so inspired by this promise that I will never hesitate to be obedient
to all You ask of me.

St. Seraphina, pray for us.

“As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt, show us
wonderful signs.” – Micah 7:15

Years ago, I started a journal called My B.A.G. of Miracles.
Originally, these were scribbles in my planner. In 2008, I created my
blog using this theme. Here’s my welcome message:
Miracles are signs of God’s love for us. We are showered with them
every day. Most go unnoticed because we don’t have an attitude of
gratitude. My B.A.G. of Miracles is a journal of the miracles in my
life. B is for Blessings — graces I received, answered prayers,
provisions for my needs and good things people did for me. They are
the miracles God blesses me with, directly or through others. A is for
Accomplishments — my achievements, trials I overcame and work I
completed. These are the miracles God works within me, instances that
show I was empowered by the Almighty. G is for the Good I did for
others — times when I was used as a channel for God’s Word or as His
instrument. They are the miracles God blesses the people around me
with when I allow Him to use me as a conduit.
I write these down that I may remember the wonders of God’s amazing
love.Lella Santiago (mirellasantiago@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
Forget not the many favors of the Lord upon your life .

Lord, let me not allow a single miracle in my life to pass me by unnoticed.

COMPANION

1st READING

God calls all shepherds to care for the flock they have been given —
the staff being a sign of their authority and leadership. The role of
the Bishops is to care for the People of God. They need to make sure
that they do not allow other concerns to distract them from this task.
It is their duty to always stand in solidarity with the poor and to
speak for them.

Micah 7:14-15, 18-20
14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your
inheritance, that dwells apart in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel.
Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old; 15 as in
the days when you came from the land of Egypt, show us wonderful
signs. 18 Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons
sin for the remnant of his inheritance; who does not persist in anger
forever, but delights rather in clemency, 19 and will again have
compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt? You will cast into the
depths of the sea all our sins; 20 you will show faithfulness to
Jacob, and grace to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from
days of old.

P S A L M

Psalm 85:2-4, 5-6, 7-8
R: Lord, show us your mercy and love.
1 [2] You have favored, O LORD, your land; you have brought back the
captives of Jacob. 2 [3] You have forgiven the guilt of your people;
you have covered all their sins. 3 [4] You have withdrawn all your
wrath; you have revoked your burning anger. (R) 4 [5] Restore us, O
God our savior, and abandon your displeasure against us. 5 [6] Will
you be ever angry with us, prolonging your anger to all generations?
(R) 6 [7] Will you not instead give us life; and shall not your people
rejoice in you? 7 [8] Show us, O LORD, your kindness, and grant us
your salvation. (R)

G O S P E L

Jesus reminds us that it is our choices that are going to contribute
to the state of our salvation or lack thereof, not our bloodlines. We
need to realize that discipleship is all about choices — choosing God
over the world; good over wrong; holiness over banality and so on. Are
we willing to make these choices? It is good to ponder at length the
choices we made yesterday and will make today and tomorrow.

Matthew 12:46-50
46 While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers
appeared outside, wishing to speak with him. 47 Someone told him,
“Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak
with you.” 48 But he said in reply to the one who told him, “Who is my
mother? Who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward
his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For
whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, and sister,
and mother.”

my reflections
t h i n k : Discipleship is all about choices — choosing God over the
world; good over wrong; holiness over banality and so on.

SABBATH

WHAT IS THE NATURE OF DISCIPLESHIP?

The above question is one of the critical questions for the Church to
answer today. What exactly do we mean by “discipleship” in the 21st
century? In many ways the answer is exactly the same as last century
and the century before that. However, perhaps I have asked the wrong
question: how do we live discipleship in the 21st century? But the
answer is still the same, I hear you reply. This is true because the
heart of both the nature and the expression of discipleship, no matter
how you want to examine it, is obedience to God’s will!
If obedience to God’s will is lacking in a person’s life, they cannot
be called disciples of Jesus. Obedience to God’s will is the litmus
test of discipleship. Yet, I find it truly amazing that many people
today very conveniently forget about the virtue of obedience when they
speak of discipleship. Many religious men and women are no longer
interested in their vow of obedience to their superior; many priests
treat their promise of obedience to their bishop and his successors
with scant respect. Why is there such a struggle with obedience?
I think the answer rests in the growing level of individualism in our
society. Children grow up in a society that highly values freedom of
thought and expression. This is a good thing but freedom has to be
understood within the context of the truths that govern them. True
freedom is not absolute — it is always in submission to the truth. It
is this aspect of freedom that is poorly understood today.
Jesus tells us that it is the truth that sets us free (John 8:32).
This means that freedom is subservient to the truth; it must always be
guided by the truth of our humanity — who we are as beings created in
the image and likeness of God. Freedom is not being free to do
whatever one feels like doing, but freedom to follow the truth that
God puts before us as essential to our human nature. Fr. Steve Tynan,
MGL

Reflection Question:
What do I understand by freedom when I speak of it in terms of the
freedom to choose what I will do in a particular situation?

Jesus, You have freed us from the powers of sin and death and opened
for us the way to true human fulfillment. Help us to understand the
demands of truth as we exercise freedom in our lives.

St. Margaret of Antioch, pray for us.

THE SECRET
 
"... only say the word and my servant will be healed." – Matthew 8:8

Simply faith (not simple faith). That's all this gentile Roman official had. Being an officer, he knew what authority was all about. And he knew the kind of authority that Jesus had. He didn't demand any signs from heaven like the Pharisees did. Jesus knew who He was and this Roman official knew that.
This reminds me of a popular healing priest, Fr. Suarez. He heals so quietly without much fanfare just by touching and conversing casually at times with the people asking for healing. None of that demon whipping, casting out screams and mantras as if the demons inside the sick person were deaf. If that's the kind of healing session you're used to, you are in for a surprise when you watch Fr. Suarez at work. It's seemingly effortless but the number of healings speaks for the power at work.
When you know who you are and whose you are, life will suddenly cease to be complicated. Life only becomes hard when you are trying to live it out on your own. When you recognize the true source of life and power, everything becomes real simple. Ronna Ledesma (ronnaledesma@email.com)

REFLECTION:
"I came that they might have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)

Lord, give me a childlike faith.

1st READING

The People of God lament the destruction of the Temple and of their nation. Yet they only have themselves to blame. Does this story sound familiar? Well, it reminded me of my own life up until the time I decided enough was enough — the day I decided to be a disciple. Since that day things have been very different, not yet perfect, but definitely moving in the right direction.

Lamentation 2:2, 10-14, 18-19
2 The Lord has consumed without pity all the dwellings of Jacob; he has torn down in his anger the fortresses of daughter Judah; he has brought to the ground in dishonor her king and her princes. 10 On the ground in silence sit the old men of daughter Zion; they strew dust on their heads and gird themselves with sackcloth; the maidens of Jerusalem bow their heads to the ground. 11 Worn out from weeping are my eyes, within me all is in ferment; my gall is poured out on the ground because of the downfall of the daughter of my people, as child and infant faint away in the open spaces of the town. 12 They ask their mothers, "Where is the cereal?" — in vain, as they faint away like the wounded in the streets of the city, and breathe their last in their mothers' arms. 13 To what can I liken or compare you, O daughter Jerusalem? What example can I show you for your comfort, virgin daughter Zion? For great as the sea is your downfall; who can heal you?
14 Your prophets had for you false and specious visions; they did not lay bare your guilt, to avert your fate; they beheld for you in vision false and misleading portents. 18 Cry out to the Lord; moan, O daughter Zion! Let your tears flow like a torrent day and night; let there be no respite for you, no repose for your eyes. 19 Rise up, shrill in the night, at the beginning of every watch; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord; lift up your hands to him for the lives of your little ones Who faint from hunger at the corner of every street.

P S A L M

Psalm 74:1b-2, 3-5, 6-7, 20-21
R: Lord, forget not the souls of your poor ones.
1 Why, O God, have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? 2 Remember your flock which you built up of old, the tribe you redeemed as your inheritance, Mount Zion, where you took up your abode. (R) 3 Turn your steps toward the utter ruins; toward all the damage the enemy has done in the sanctuary. 4 Your foes roar triumphantly in your shrine; they have set up their tokens of victory. 5 They are like men coming up with axes to a clump of trees. (R) 6 With chisel and hammer they hack at all its panelling of sanctuary. 7 They set your sanctuary on fire; the place where your name abides they have razed and profaned. (R) 20 Look to your covenant, for the hiding places in the land and the plains are full of violence. 21 May the humble not retire in confusion; may the afflicted and the poor praise your name. (R)
 
G O S P E L
 
Jesus heals many who are sick. What about the sick who are not healed when we pray for them? Perhaps God has some other plan for them? I do not know. We all have to die of something, so why not sickness? It is not as though some people never experience mortal death. The will of God will always retain a certain mysterious element beyond our understanding.

Matthew 8:5-17
5 When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him, 6 saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully." 7 He said to him, "I will come and cure him." 8 The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. 11 I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven, 12 but the children of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and
grinding of teeth." 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour his servant was healed. 14 Jesus entered the house of Peter, and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and waited on him. 16 When it was evening, they brought him many who were possessed by demons, and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick, 17 to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet: "He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases."

t h i n k: We all have to die of something, so why not sickness?
