Believe, all things are possible for God

"Believe, all things are possible if you believe."  Mk 9:23

Sometimes, we limit our perception, thinking that there are things not possible for God.  For us, we are limited as imperfect creatures of creation.  It is now time for us to reckon the bare truth that all things are possible for God.

When it comes to God, nothing is impossible.  But, one has to believe fully that what he prayed for will be given.  As a testimony, I have many things prayed for fully answered if I totally leave it in the hands of God.  But, when my faith wanes a bit, then the problems seem insurmountable.  

As lovers of God, things become easier if we totally surrender to God's plans for our lives.  At times of great faith, God fight the battles for us.  

It's not easy to do it just by words, but by deeds.  Believe fully just like the patriarch Abraham who offered his son to God without doubt, just like Mother Mary who accepted her role as Mother of Jesus for our salvation, just like all the saints who adored God in absolute awe, just like the Archangels and Angels who stand by on the side of God no matter what.

Let us pray today that God, our Heavenly Father will give us the grace of faith, strong and unwavering at all times, in joy and in sorrow, in good times as well as in moments of trials and tribulations.  Praise God!  Alleluia.  In the Most Holy Name of Jesus.  Amen

SAINT AUGUSTINE by CYNTHIA ABEGAIL

SAINT AUGUSTINE
Saint Augustine was a genius of immense proportions that
from the words of Christopher Dawson, "he was to a far
greater degree than any emperor or general or barbarian
war-lord, a maker of history!

Augustine was born in 354 in Numidia, North Africa. His mother
was the patient and loving Christian, Monica (to be proclaimed a
saint later). He became a teacher of rhetoric in North Africa
and Milan.

He was involved with Manicheanism at a young age; had a mistress
and a son. However, he became a Catholic --- one of the best religious
thinker of the time. He wrote numerous treatises and the most
popular religious autobiography, The Confessions.

On the other hand, the one treasured by Augustine was his City of God,
a rich resource on the thoughts and yearnings of olden and early
Christian being. Aside from the Bible, there is no book that had
an impetus on the Middle Ages than the City of God. Needless to say,
this book is a masterpiece, a huge synthesis of knowledge.

It encompasses the struggle of good and evil -- philosophical and historical
in a sense. City of God has ushered into a new understanding and paved
a way to understand the world and its origin.
Saint Augustine --- an outstanding writer and preacher --- Bishop of
Hippo and a scholar par excellence.Source: Walsh, G. et al. (introduction by Etienne Gilson). City of God.

THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND UNFATHOMABLE GOD FORWARDED BY CYNTHIA ABEGAIL

THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND UNFATHOMABLE GOD

The LORD in his great majesty is beyond understanding.  Scholars had written about many
things about the attributes of God, omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence.  No matter how lofty the words used, it is still not enough to describe our awesome God.

Remember the experience of Moses in the burning bush when he asked about the name of God.
The Almighty replied, "I AM WHO I AM."  It is a fascinating encounter when the prophet only saw the back of God.  No one who sees God the Father will live.

Then, one of the greatest kings wanted to build a temple for the Lord.  The Lord replied how can one contain God who is beyond understanding.  Yes, the Lord owns everything!  How can we build something for The One who is the owner of the whole universe and beyond?

Yet it is interesting to note that God in His greatness and glory send His Son Jesus to save man
from all their iniquities.  Now in the person of the Son, the gap was bridged between God and man.  Jesus is the "I AM the Living Bread that comes down from heaven (Gospel of John).  Jesus is the "I AM the Living Water." 

All are puzzled!  There is no need to be confounded for the Lord Jesus is The Way, The Truth and the Life.  When the Lord speaks, listen to His Voice:  Harden not your Hearts.

Praise the Lord, O my soul: Reflection by Jane Pimenta

Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s  Ps 103:1-5

There is so much good that the Lord is doing for us in this short vs… let us stop worrying and begin to live with peace.  The Psalmist has a clear picture of his God, and let us try and capture this picture for ourselves too.  Maybe we have made some bad choices or we are victims of people who have made wrong choices, let us today put our life into Jesus’ hands and know that He will take care of everything.  Let us say to the Lord “Jesus I trust You, I believe You are working things out for me”  Let us reach out today to someone who needs help.  (As usual, Jane gives us practical and insightful reflection.  Excellent).

ALL I HAVE: POEM FORWARDED BY CYNTHIA ABEGAIL

                                         pic credit: FB

All I Have

The wonder and awe of your work
The eyes that can see the world
The ears that can hear chirping
All I have with joy ringing!


The love for you and the rest
The heart that feels not less
The feet that brings good news
All I have, thanks not blues!


The gaze at your Word so gentle
The looks of care not mellow
The compassion not shallow
All I have, I praise and hallow.


The courage in adversity
The modesty in eternity
The fortitude, not vanity
All I have is love for you!
