       In the parable of Jesus, that the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who woke up early that hires workers for his vineyard. The landowner and the workers agreed on a silver coin for the day, when the landowner went out at nine in the morning, he saw idlers in the square so he said to them, “You, too, go to my vineyard and I will pay you what is just.” So they went. The land owner went out midday and the afternoon and did the same thing.      Finally he went out at the last working hour and he saw others standing there and he said to them, “Why do you stay idle the whole day?” They answered, “Because no one has hired us.” The landowner said, “Go and work in my vineyard.” And so they did.      When the evening came, the landowner told his manager to call the workers and give them their wages, beginning with the last and ending with the first. Those who worked at the last working hour they were given A silver coin each. When it was the turn of the first they thought they wou

       Jesus The Messiah, “Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatever you lose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.” Since Peter was the one who recognized Jesus as the son of the Living God, He is now the handler of the keys if the kingdom of God.      Many of us still do not believe totally about God’s faithfulness and love to us. But there are still who believe but do not follow in God’s Ten (10) commandments. They will only call God’s help and mercy when they have obstacles and trials come in their ways like emergencies, dreaded diseases and in depression. And when they can overcome those mentioned challenges in life, they forgot God even to thank Him for surpassing all those life’s suffering.      This calls us all Christians and believers of Christ to sill hang on to our faith to God in sadness, loneliness, gladness and joyful moments in our lives. We should recogniz

  The story of the Canaanite woman's encounter with Jesus is found in today's gospel. This chapter represents a number of significant topics: such as faith, modesty, and the applicability of Jesus' message to all people. A Canaanite mother begs Jesus in this text to help her daughter who is being tormented by a demon. The woman persists, kneeling before Jesus and pleading, "Lord, help me!" At first, Jesus appears to ignore her, telling her that His primary focus is on the "lost sheep of Israel," but He later seems to change His tune, telling her that it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to "dogs," a reference to non-Jews. The woman's response is crucial to the plot. She accepts her Gentile status, but ingeniously flips Jesus' example by adding, "Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Her response demonstrates deep humility, unshakeable faith, and acknow

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
