The Lord Jesus spoke from His heart to His disciples, sharing precious words that reminded them of His commandment to love and strengthened them for future difficulties and trials. As we continue on our earthly journey, let us allow His words to inspire and help us.
Goodbyes are bittersweet and never easy, yet for missionaries, they become sacred acts of trust–entrusting loved ones to God while embracing His call. We hold on to God’s promise: “I am with you always.”
A simple meeting can become a moment of grace when hearts are open. Like the Samaritan woman at the well, we are invited beyond fear and pride into true encounter. In listening, being sincere, and loving, ordinary moments become life-changing connections.
On the mountain of the transfiguration, Peter, James, and John witnessed Christ’s face shining like the sun and heard the Father’s voice affirming Jesus as beloved Son; such God Encounter Moments (GEMs) invite us to recognize and share divine presence.
As disciples of Christ, we are invited to grow in our likeness to Him through our thoughts, words, and actions. We should prioritize prayer, cultivate a compassionate heart, and pursue a mission in life.
Pains, problems, struggles, and life’s challenges are real. But we also have to know and accept that there are aids to help us navigate life, and one of these is faith.
Being pruned can be painful and aching, but it is necessary to produce abundant good deeds in life. When we are being pruned, let us not forget to pray, do good, and have joyful hope through it all.
We need God’s help to heal, enlighten, lead and protect. Today, the Canaanite woman reminds us of the most heartfelt prayer: “Lord, help me.”
As we journey on, let us share the presence and love of God wherever we go and in whatever we say or do. May we become witnesses to God’s presence in this dark and lonely world.
We can truly live a meaningful life under the guidance of the Master, Jesus Christ. The three words that will help us achieve this objective are service, sacrifice, and sharing.
