The gospel today invites us to be a joyful bold witness of Jesus just like Saint Philip Neri whose hallmark is cheerfulness.
His methods involved making acquaintances on street corners or public squares. And once he established a rapport with an individual, he asked questions or gave suggestions and gradually won them over to a better way of life.
“First let a little love find entrance into their hearts,” he said, “And the rest will follow."
This is the 1332nd installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Israel Silud as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
