LENT: A TIME FOR RIFLECTION

The Bible is a treasure to meditate upon, it is our manual for us christians on how to trust,love and live for God.As we Cannot breath without air, so does our soul it cannot live without the word of God and Christ himself. The three main fonts of our spiritual survival are, the Eucharist, reading the word and prayer.The voice of the Lord is so soft and loving that it is so easy to be hindered by our own frail poor humanity. If we say that we know 100% every minute of every day what God is saying, then we are risking of entering into a dangerous and suttle realm, that of knowing all....pride and arrogance. This lent, let us first look upon the crucified Christ and reflect on our salvation, the death of Jesus was our salvation. we too need to die for ourselves in humility, as no servant is greater then his master, therefore we need to clothe ourselves in Jesus Christ. This is made possible by receiving him daily in the Eucharist, stay in silence.....we need to stop and listen, then we need to meditate on his word. Jesus Christ is the word made flesh, and whoever has seen him has seen the father, no one can go to the father except through Christ.This Lent God is talking to us by means of the poor, of the homeless, the refugees and the sick. God Is ready to reach this people through you, let us be the ones who can show and share the language of God...that is of love. Love is the medicine of God.



This remind me on St Paul's first letter to the Corinthians chap 13

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
