VERSE FOR D DAY

To him who overcomes n does my will to d end,i will give authority over d nations- He will rule them with an iron sceptre;he will dash them to pieces like pottery just as i have received authority from my father... revelation:2:26,27

Grounded in Grace, Growing in Mission, Giving to Serve

Hi Dear one's in Christ Jesus,
Today the Feast of the "All Saints" which is celebrated all over the globe,

Who are Saints? why do we celebrate the Feast?

Saints are mere Sinners, mere humans, who had sinned just like us,
BUT the Difference is there Faith, Humbleness, their Trust in god,
to seek him with all there heart, dispiecing the world & themselves.

In this High Speed Generation, there is little time for god,
we run so hard, so hard to come first, only to realize we have to start the next one,
For the Joy of the world is not Eternal,

True peace & Joy comes only from christ. which is given to who devoutly seek him.

Every Saint started a life just the way you and i started, the BIG Difference is they paused and taught what Life is worth to be Lived for.

Let us learn, look at the foot steps of the Saints, to Love one another, with the smallest attempt,
to love our neighbor, and to spread the Love of Christ.

Today's Mass Reading from the Bible - OCT/31/2010

Wisdom 11: 22 - 26, 12: 1 - 2

22.Because the whole world before thee is like a speck that tips the scales, and like a drop of morning dew that falls upon the ground.
23.But thou art merciful to all, for thou canst do all things, and thou dost overlook men's sins, that they may repent.
24.For thou lovest all things that exist, and hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made, for thou wouldst not have made anything if thou hadst hated it.
25.How would anything have endured if thou hadst not willed it? Or how would anything not called forth by thee have been preserved?
26.Thou sparest all things, for they are thine, O Lord who lovest the living.

1.For thy immortal spirit is in all things.
2.Therefore thou dost correct little by little those who trespass, and dost remind and warn them of the things wherein they sin, that they may be freed from wickedness and put their trust in thee, O Lord.

Psalms 145: 1 - 2, 8 - 11, 13 - 14

1.I will extol thee, my God and King, and bless thy name for ever and ever.
2.Every day I will bless thee, and praise thy name for ever and ever.
8.The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9.The LORD is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.
10.All thy works shall give thanks to thee, O LORD, and all thy saints shall bless thee!
11.They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and tell of thy power,
13.Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endures throughout all generations. The LORD is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.
14.The LORD upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down.

2 Thessalonian 1: 11 - 12, 2: 1 - 2

11.To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his call, and may fulfil every good resolve and work of faith by his power,
12.so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1.Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren,
2.not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

Luke 19: 1 - 10

1.He entered Jericho and was passing through.
2.And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.
3.And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.
4.So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5.And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."
6.So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
7.And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
8.And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."
9.And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
10.For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

A Beautiful Song

What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.



Have a Blessed day, God Bless you...

Today's Mass Reading from the Bible - OCT/30/2010

Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary


Philippians 1: 18 - 26

18.What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in that I rejoice.
19.Yes, and I shall rejoice. For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
20.as it is my eager expectation and hope that I shall not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
21.For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22.If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
23.I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
24.But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
25.Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
26.so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

Psalms 42: 2 - 3, 5

2.My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God?
3.My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me continually, "Where is your God?"
5.Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help

Luke 14: 1, 7 - 11

1.One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.
7.Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,
8."When you are invited by any one to a marriage feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest a more eminent man than you be invited by him;
9.and he who invited you both will come and say to you, `Give place to this man,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10.But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, `Friend, go up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you.
11.For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Saint for the Day -- St. John Chrysostom

Eating and drinking don't make friendships - such friendship even robbers and murdereds have. But if we are friends, if we truly care for one another, let's help one another spritually....Let's hinder those things that lead our friends away to hell.


Have a Blessed Day, God Bless you...

3.I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
4.always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
5.thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
6.And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
7.It is right for me to feel thus about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
8.For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9.And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,
10.so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11.filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.


Psalms 111: 1 - 6

1.Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2.Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3.Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.
4.He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.
5.He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6.He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Luke 14: 1 - 6

1.One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.
2.And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.
3.And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"
4.But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go.
5.And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?"
6.And they could not reply to this.


Saint for the Day -- St. John Vianney

Alas, what about you poor children! Being your spiritual father, I give you this advice: When you see your parents, who miss religious services, who work on Sunday, who eat meat on forbidden days, who do not go to the Sacraments anymore, who do not improve their minds on religious matters--do the very opposite before them, so that your good example may save them, and if you are wise and good enough to do this, you will have gained everything. That is what I most desire for you.

Have a Blessed Day, God Bless...

The Love of Christ

My Dear Brotherin in Christ Jesus, the Bible tells “Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
we struggle so hard in our lives for Breakthrough, we try so hard to make ends meet,
we put all our wisdom, influence, all the powers in the world,
But it is only from god, which cometh all Good, Never by your own strength,

His love is endless, no matter ur in which state, no matter how un-worthy u are to receive him,
It all takes simple submission, are you ready to put aside ur strength, all that you were trying, all your hopeless efforts, and humbly surrender to him, he is ready to hep you.

are you ready to bring Christ into your life?

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come before You just as I am. I am sorry for all my sins. I repent of my sins, please forgive me. In Your name, I forgive all others for what they have done against me. I renounce Satan, the evil spirits and all their works. I give You my entire self, Lord Jesus, now and forever. I invite You into my life Jesus. I accept You as my Lord, God and Saviour. Heal me, change me, strengthen me in body, soul and spirit. Come Lord Jesus, cover me with Your Precious Blood and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I love You Lord Jesus. I Praise You Jesus. I Thank You Jesus. I shall follow You every day of my life. Amen. Mary my Mother, Queen of Peace, all the Angels and Saints, please help me. Amen
