Jesus went through towns and villages teaching and making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked him, “Lord, is it true that few people will be saved?” And Jesus answered, “Do your best to enter by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has got up and locked the door, you will stand outside; then you will knock at the door calling: ‘Lord, open to us.’ But he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will say: We ate and drank with you and you taught in our streets! But he will reply: ‘I don’t know where you come from. Away from me all you workers of evil.’ You will weep and grind your teeth when you see Abraham and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves left outside. Others will sit at table in the kingdom of God, people coming from east and west, from north and south. Some who are among the last will be the first, and others who were first will be last!” So w

The gospel for today speaks mostly about division and Jesus being the cause of division. It's really quite a shocker isn't it? To be honest, this gospel really got me vexed for the entire week. I couldn't quite grasp it and I've spent countless hours just trying to get to the core of it. I mean, JESUS BEING THE CAUSE OF DIVISION...?? Wouldn't that be contrary to His other teachings? You would think that Jesus would be the cause of unity, peace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, etc... but DIVISION? It's a bit hard to believe isn't it? "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division." It may be hard to believe but it is what Jesus said. It is in the Bible, it is the Word of God, and we have to deal with it. The thing is, Jesus would never sugarcoat things for us. He will never just tell us what we want to hear, instead, He will tell us exactly what we need to hear. And we NEED to hear the truth whether we like it o

 The readings focus on the theme about faith in God and desire for his Kingdom. In the first reading it talks about wisdom that the people of God agreed to the pact by which they would share blessings and dangers, There are a lot of circumstances that involves faith. Just like answered prayers from him, the blessings that has been bestowed upon us. We the servants of God even if we have done a lot of things that may hindered to  believe in his faith but still we knew that God will always be with us through our prayers he will always forgive us each and every day in our lives and through that our faith with him will be more stronger.                 Sometimes we became unfaithful l to him,  ‘’kasi, DI  NARINIG PRAYERS NATIN, DAMING PROBLEM  DUMADATING SA SARILI, FAMILY, SCHOOLS ETC “ through that we always say “ di ka totoo, bakit ako magkakaroon ng paniniwala sayo kung di mo naman ako pina kikinggan” diba ang pangit pakinggan? Let me share one of my experience of being faithful ser

As I have gone on today’s readings it only implies one thing which is striving for God and God alone. And that it is important to store up treasures in heaven so that we would inherit eternal life. Let us fully understand the message with these questions. WHAT AM I STRIVING FOR EVERYDAY? It should be Christ who we need to seek for everyday, for he is our fulfillment. He turns our sorrow into joy, our weaknesses into strengths and he is our way to the Father. How to do so? We must have that desire of waking up every morning for the purpose of thanking God for the life that he gave us. On the first reading he points out vanity which brings anxiety to men. Let us abolish vanity which is an excessive pride in one’s appearance, qualities, abilities and achievements and rather rely on him let him govern our life because we all know that he only thinks of what’s good for all of us. And always remember that pride is the most treacherous of sins because it blinds our understanding, and if
