THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

Reflection For today's Gospel:John 6:51-58
"I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh". God is like a living bread that anyone who eat him will live forever.Anyone who accept Him and follow His commandments will last forever.
We become what we eat.When we eat unhealthy foods we become weak and later on we become sickly.Jesus is offering His body and blood as our food.Now, are we ready to eat Him and be like Him? Do we believe in this Bread of life discourse of Jesus? Do we believe that it is Jesus' Body,Blood and Divinity that we are going to partake during Holy Communion?.After receiving Jesus, do we still Kneel because that's the gesture that we have to do and we do it just for the sake of doing it?.These are some questions for us to ponder with.
We are always invited to take Jesus' Body and Blood as our meal.When we partake His meal,we will now be ready to be broken and be shared so that others may also feel Jesus Love and Compassion for all.
Also,God sent Jesus to save men and restore Him to eternal life upon two conditions,that men will come to Jesus as one given to them by God and believe in Him.❤

THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

Reflection for today's gospel

In the mystery, The Solemnity of the Holy Trinity teaches us that there are three distinct person; God -the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, sharing the same Divine Nature. The Holy Trinity shall not be understand through our mind or by knowledge for our mind cannot grasp this basic doctrine rather let us understand this with our heart because our heart doesn't just symbolizes love but also our faith and relationship with God.

The Holy Trinity is not a mystery to be solve but a mystery to believe.

The Spirit encourage and strengthen us. So we, as the temple of the Holy Spirit let us include the Holy Trinity in our prayers.

In the name of The God the Father(the provider), The Son (the savior) and the Holy Spirit ( the sanctifier).

Reflection for today's Gospel

"Peace be with you.As the Father has sent me,so I sent you".This is a very touching words that the Lord told us.He said that we should give peace to our fellow people and fellow christians.If we had been arguing with someone about something we should reconcile with them,because Jesus wants his people to love and have peace in each other.Jesus sent us to be his follower/disciple that will spread the word of God to other people,who have low faith and low trust to God.He want as to keep his word,and teaching that is being read from the Holy Bibble.

"Receive the Holy Spirit,whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,and whose sins you retain are retained".We are called to receive the Holy Spirit with our willingness on it.Jesus in merciful that he forgive us even if we commit sins everyday,so we must forgive and forget also the people who have hurt as even if it is difficult we must render it to God,we must forgive our fellow for us to be free to love and not to hate our fellow christians,and fellow people.❤🦋

Another reflection for today's Sunday gospel

Luke 13:1-9
The gospel reading for today gives a wonderful image of God. The gardener represent our hopeful and patient God. Our gardener is willing to fertilize , nurture, and pull the w**ds that grow around us.. However there's a question for us to answer: Will we bring our w**ds to God and ask him to help us uproot the w**ds from our hearts?
If we want ask God to do so, he will gift and grace us as we work together with him. we have to trust our God's timing. Our w**ds maybe take time to uprooted , but just be patient and trust God process. Imagine that we are the fig tree, from seed we have grown up and expected to bear fruit because we were meant to be and that is the purpose of the one who planted us. If we will not bore fruit we will just be cut down for good. Now the fruit bearing part is like repentance for our sons. On other hand the gospel reading invites us to po see on some key words words like sinners and repentance.

Gospel; Luke 13; 1-9

Reflection:
Luke writes about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of sacrifices and Jesus says: "Do you think that the Galileans who suffered were greater than the other Galileans?" The point here is that Jesus is actually trying to say that if we do not repent then we will perish. Jesus then Continues and tells them another parable, He says: “There once was a person who planted a fig tree in his garden. When the man came to pick the fruit, the tree had not born any fruit. The man immediately went to his gardener and told him: “For the past three years I have come to pick figs from these trees and for the past three years, the tree has not borne any fruit. I want you to cut the tree down now.” The gardener said: “Sir, I ask you to leave the tree one more year. I will fertilize it and cultivate the ground around it. And if it does not bear fruit this year, then you can cut it down.”

As we can read in the Gospel, the gardener was very patient, was willingly giving a chance to the tree and was hopeful to bear a fruit. This Gospel gives us a wonderful message that God is the Gardener - a hopeful and patient Gardener. God will never abandon us even if we are not bearing any fruit. Our Gardener, God, will help and fertilize us, and pull the w**ds that are growing around us. But we have to allow God for that to happen. Will we willingly let God be our Gardener and help us pull the w**ds around us?

God will give us grace as we work together with Him to pull the w**ds from our lives, the w**ds around us. We just have to trust God, He knows the right time. Pulling the w**ds may take time for it to be completely uprooted but us, people, want instant answers and solution but we should trust in Him for he knows the perfect riming. So, will we trust God our Gardener? Will we strive to be patient?

Today, I want you to ask yourself, what is the w**d that in your life that you want to uproot?

REFLECTION FOR TODAY'S GOSPEL
Luke 9 28-36

The Transfiguration. Today's reading talks about the transfiguration of Jesus. Luke tell us about Jesus praying. His constant praying shows his love for his Father in heaven and his confidence that his prayers and his worships were heard. We are tempted to doubt if our prayers matter, but we can read Luke's Gospel and see that Jesus had no such doubts.

God sent his son because of his love to us. Jesus suffered and died, but he rised again and he will return to earth again. Everyone that follow him and proclaim him to the world will suffer. But there will be life after death. The event teaches about Christ's authority and glory as well as the transformation we should go through as his followers. Jesus helps us in our suffering and challenges we are facing everyday.
We must not stop praying and we must strengthen our faith in God.We should follow Jesus even with the cost because keeping this life won't be worth it in hell. God has a plan and purpose for each life He created. Even though we have doubts and fears, God will help us to complete His work. With the light of God, he shows us the right path to follow. With the help of Jesus he can lead us the way. So we must believe in him. We must listen to him. We must not ignore him. We must not doubt him. We must not disregard him. And we must not disobey him .

REFLECTION FOR TODAY'S GOSPEL
LUKE 4:1-13

Today's gospel talks about the temptations that Jesus encountered in the desert.
There are a lot of temptations in our life. And most of the time these temptations occur when we are at the weakest moments of our life. We are at our weakest when we experience spiritual dryness, and emptiness, when we have lost hope and life has become meaningless that we feel lost, alone, and depressed. We get disconnected from our power source and source of light who is Jesus and we experience darkness, the place of evil. The devil finds it best to tempt us when we are hungry. Hungry for material things, power, recognition, etc. It is through our inmost thoughts and desires that the devil comes to us.
Sometimes we can't help saying yes to the temptation that comes our way but let this be a lesson to us. Let us resist temptation by clinging to God and allow him to be with us in our fight. Let our prayer be our strength. We need to pray more and ask for His grace to help us in our struggle against evil. Let us trust and be true to him.
Be alone with God and allow God to be alone with you. God longs for that moment. May we be guided by the Holy Spirit in the desert of our lives to better discern our actions, and to resist the temptations of structural sin.

ASH WEDNESDAY
Mercy. That’s what it’s all about. As we begin Lent, a great place to start is with a better understanding of mercy. Mercy is all about charity. It’s about love in the way God wants us to love. It’s about being free to let love consume us and take us over so that, in the end, all we want to do is love. This can be a hard practice to establish in our lives but is the source of our joy and fulfillment. So make this a great Lent, but don’t get stuck thinking that the Lenten sacrifices are burdensome. They are one essential piece of the pathway to the life God wants to bestow upon us.
