2/23/11 cblog HOW CAN WE BE MORE FAITHFUL IN OUR JESUS JOURNEY ?
vibiana; Faithfulness..polycarp said " I served CHRIST for 86 years
.will not renouce my faith now"..as we come to celebrate
polycarp....early bishop.let us ask ourself, in which way can I remain
more faithful in following Christ ?" Sir 4:11-19 "Wisdom breathes life into her children and admonishes
those who seek her. He who loves her loves life those who seek her
will be embraced by the Lord He who holds her fast inherits glory;
wherever he dwells, the LORD bestows blessings Those who serve her
serve the Holy One; those who love her the LORD loves. He who obeys
her judges nations he who hearkens to her dwells in her inmost
chambers. If one trusts her, he will possess her; his descendants too
will inherit her. She walks with him as a stranger and at first she
puts him to the test; Fear and dread she brings upon him and tries him
with her discipline until she try him by her laws and trust his soul.
Then she comes back to bring him happiness and reveal her secrets to
them and she will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and an
understanding of justice. But if he fails her, she will abandon him
and deliver him into the hands of despoilers Ps 119:165, 168, 171, 17 R. (165a) O Lord, great peace have they who
love your law. reat peace have they who love your law. I long for your salvation, O
LORD, and your law is my delight. R. O Lord, great peace have they who
love your law. Let my soul live to praise you, and may your ordinances
help me. R. O Lord, great peace have they who love your law. Mark 9.38-40
"John said to Jesus,“Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in
your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.”
Jesus replied, “Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a
mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For
whoever is not against us, is for us"
