TOPIC: HINDI KA BA NAGKAKANDATULOG DAHIL SA MGA ALALAHANIN SA BUHAY?

First Reading: First John 4: 11-18
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 72: 1-2, 10, 12-13
Alleluia: First Timothy 3: 16
Gospel: Mark 6: 45-52

Mga kapatid, mayroon tayong kasamang nakamatyag—kahit na o hanggang madaling araw. Kasama nating hindi magkandatulog dahil nais magligtas, nais tumulong; kayang-kaya Niyang magligtas, kayang-kaya Niyang tumulong.

Subalit, hindi natin Siya nakikilala bilang tulong at tagapagligtas. Akala natin, Siya ay nakatatakot na multo. Inaayawan natin ang pagdating Niya sa ating buhay. Hindi natin ginugusto na makasama Siya palagi sa loob ng ating tahanan.

Pero napakabuti Niya.

Patuloy Siyang magpapakilala at magsasabing: “Huwag kayong matakot. Ako ito! Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob!” “Huwag kayong matakot. Ako ito! Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob!” “Huwag kayong matakot. Ako ito! Lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob!”

This is the 1718th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.

[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Arnel Santos, a member of the CFC Board of Elders and Mission Head for Asia, 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]
