Nothing is hidden from the eyes of God

“For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, 

nor is anything secret that will not become known 

and come to light.”

Luke 8:17

Stop the sinful things you are doing today and seek God’s mercy and forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Come out of that confessional with a fresh start and a new freedom, the freedom to live without fear that your sins will be revealed. Make peace with God. And then begin to reshape your life and your habits. Take control of your passions and inclinations to sin.

Nothing will be impossible to you

What kind of faith does the Lord expect of us, especially when we meet set-backs and trials? Inevitably there are times when each of us disappoint others or disappoint ourselves when we suffer some kind of set-back or failure. In this Gospel incident the disciples of Jesus fail to heal an epileptic boy. Jesus' response seems stern; but it is really tempered with love and compassion. We see at once Jesus' dismay with the disciples' lack of faith and his concern to meet the need of this troubled boy and his father. With one word of command Jesus rebukes the evil spirit that has caused this boy's affliction and tells the spirit to "never enter him again".

Pray with expectant faith

Jesus tells his disciples that they can "remove mountains" if they have faith in God. The expression to "remove mountains" was a common Jewish phrase for removing difficulties. A wise teacher who could solve difficulties was called a "mountain remover". If we pray with expectant faith God will give us the means to overcome difficulties and obstacles. When you meet trials and disappointments how do you respond? With faith and trust in Jesus?

Lord Jesus, help my unbelief! Increase my faith and trust in your saving power. Give me confidence and perseverance, especially in prayer. And help me to bring your healing love and truth to those I meet".

Nothing is BIGGER than GOD's GRACE

I am a Christian

I am not perfect,

I make mistakes,

I mess up,

But GOD's GRACE is BIGGER

than my sins.

AMEN.

Lord JESUS there is nothing impossible for You, come grant me the miracle I need today

Lord Jesus Christ, 

at a word from Mary Your Most Holy Mother 

You changed water into wine at Cana of Galilee. 

Listen now to prayers, needs, and cries of Your children, 

as we pray to our Mother of Perpetual Help. 

Grant our petitions today and accept 

our praise and thanksgiving.

Amen.

Nothing teaches

Nothing teaches character better than generosity.

~ Every spiritual gift 

is absolutely worthless without love ~

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Therefore I command you, 

you shall open wide your hand to your brother, 

to the needy and to the poor.

Deuteronomy 15:11

I tell you, 

whenever you did this for one 

of the least important of these brothers of mine, 

you did it for me 

Matthew 25:40
