[Summary] => “All the people were hanging on his words.” (Lk 19,48) Because of that, those leading Jews who wanted to put Christ to death could not carry out their plan. Let’s hope that we too can get so close to Christ that would frustrate anything that would put Christ out of our lives.

[Summary] => It’s worthwhile noting that even Christ had to spend the night praying before he made that big decision of choosing his 12 apostles among the many disciples that he had at that time. This could only mean that for Christ to be completely in union with the will of the Father, he had to pray.

[Title] => Overcoming the fear of suffering
[Summary] => THAT Christ already talked about his coming passion, death and resurrection should reassure us that there is no need for us to be overly worried about any suffering we can encounter in this life. (cfr. Mk 9,30-37) As long as we refer our suffering to the saving passion, death and resurrection of Christ, we are sure of salvation not only for us but also for others.

[Summary] => The earlier we realize this, the better for us. And that’s simply because Christ is the very pattern of our humanity. How he is should also be how we should be, not of course in terms of our physical appearance and other natural attributes that we have, but rather in terms of the spirit that should animate our whole life. The ideal condition to have is first to know and love Christ so that we may know and love ourselves and others properly.

Lk 10,38-42) Martha was doing well in busying herself welcoming their special guest. But when she complained about her sister, Mary, who seemed to be doing nothing except to sit closely before Christ, she was roundly corrected.
