TOPIC: DO WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO DEEPEN OUR FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD?
First Reading: Sirach 48: 1-14
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 97: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7
Alleluia: Romans 8: 15bc
Gospel: Matthew 6: 7-15
Today, our Lord Jesus teaches us how to pray, He gives us the priceless gift of the Our Father. The very first two words of this prayer establish that we have an intimate relationship with God who created all that is and keeps it in existence. He is our Father and we are His children. Based on this relationship, we go on to praise His Holy Name and ask that His will be done.
My dear brothers and sisters, let our prayer be simply a heart-to-heart connection that begins with praising God our Father, invoking the presence of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, guided by the eternal exchange of love through the Holy Spirit.
This is the 1515th 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 Rouquel Ponte, a member of the CFC Board of Elders, 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]
