You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. - Luke 12:40

 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 servant to him. One time I was having a very deep problem with my family most especially to my second brother, we are not really close, and we always have misunderstandings. Small things may trigger  into fighting, we fight, we shout to each other” but then one time I thought I lost my patience at him and  I could not handle it  anymore I always pray to God to  give me strength to understand my brother because somehow even if we keep on fighting he is still my brother anyway. I also pray that I hope that even if just one day we will be okay and our pride will be lessen in able for us to understand each other. You know what???  Through my faith in God and through my deep prayer God answered my prayers, we slowly became friends, and understand each other. And also through that blessing in ourselves and in our family showered more, Being nice to others  we are just expressing that we as a servant of God really love God even if we go to a wrong path God will always be with us to help and understand us AS LONG AS WE HAVE FAITH IN HIM. Let’s always remember that we will always pray for perseverance in faith. And pray for those who are still in a journey of faith in God but fails along the way because of the trials. Also never lose hope of having a FAITH, even if it long or trials may come it is a test for us most specially that we are still young, the other side will always compete to God and uses the younger ones, We will not the other side lose our faith.

SUNDAY REFLECTION (Jn 6:60-69)

        The gospel for today highlights the challenging nature of Jesus' teachings, and the importance of faith in truly understanding and accepting them.       Many of Jesus' own disciples found his words about the necessity of his body and blood for eternal life to be "hard" or difficult to accept. This shows that we humans tend to struggle with concepts that go beyond our natural understanding while Jesus’ teachings often had a deeper spiritual meaning that only Jesus or God knows. This also shows that faith is necessary in order to fully accept Jesus’ teachings, and that it is not enough to simply hear the words - we must also be willing to put our faith in them.      Ultimately, this gospel reminds us that following Jesus requires willingness and faith to understand the challenging truths of his teachings, and to rely on God's Spirit to guide our understanding. It's a call to a deeper level of commitment, beyond the surface level of discipleship. - Adrian

SUNDAY REFLECTION (Mk 7:18, 14-15, 21-23)

   The Gospel passage addresses how the Pharisees and scribes were upset because Jesus’ followers didn’t follow the tradition of washing their hands before eating. They were more concerned about it because the Pharisees believed this washing was necessary to stay “pure” and “clean”. However, Jesus tells them that they are focusing too much on these man-made rules; they are misguided by it, but Jesus explains that it is not what we do outside but rather what really matters is what is inside our hearts; this includes our thoughts, intentions, and actions that come from within and what really makes a person unclean and impure isn’t how they don’t wash before eating but the bad thoughts and actions that come within their hearts.         In essence, Jesus is teaching us to prioritize our inner transformation over external conformity. Reminding us that purity comes from having a good heart. As 1 Samuel 16:7 says, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lor

Us and Our God Against the World

Just like when we trust God, we know that He'll always be with us through our hardships. Once we realize that it is not us against the world; rather, it's us and our God against the world, we suddenly realize that we don't have to go through this life alone. We should be accepting of others around us because we were made in God's image. We may overcome previously insurmountable obstacles if we have complete faith that someone will be there for us in our hour of need. - Charlz Racel Dela Cruz
