Growth of a mustard seed

Hi friends ,

Growth and changes are part of our daily lives. We all know in order to grow we have to take up our crosses and follow him its easier said then done u be surprise at the amount of graces he will grant u if u do that. If u have been reading in ST 14 Jan 09 people taking our current recession period more seriously in building up stronger relationships with family especially and love ones , another factor People and God relationship was improve when a short excerpt of a family placeing their hope n deepening their faith n relationship with God. We can see how in difficult moments we are closer to god n his people marriage bonding - Sacament . They are the God experience moments , the moment of grace and growth moment in our daily lives. A good way to grow is to reflect on his WORD which is alive and active daily lives and we can apply them especially in mass let us reflect the WOrd. An example , today's Word of God speaks about human jealousy through story of cain and abel - cain killing able , thru tat we can reflect and ask our inner self where are we at ? jealousy is the root of all evil actions n none can say I am free without the help of God. So , u can see the word or God can transform our human nature and set us free the moment we are mindful of our nature and importantly act with zeal n faith to be a more christ like person.

Another God experience I would like to share with all of you and glorify the lord is this -- last week while I was taking the MRT train I was at a corner praying the rosary suddenly at one corner I hear a man asking his friend what was I holding and his friend was a filipino catholic and he began to share his faith through the rosary .... another once was in a catholic bookshop while browsing some Cds a lady , a visitor from Indonesia suddenly spoke to me asking about the novena , immediately I shared with her and invited her to come on the next day , saturday she also purchase a novena booklet to guide her better.

Dear friends , let God live in your life thru simple daily task n experience HIS CALLING which is uniquely different - each to his/her own n experience his love n you be surprise the gifts within you transform as a gift to others then you ever imagine.

God Bless ! To God Be Glory !

Hi , Iam Back :) MOVIEs

Dear friends,

Been busy for past few months and have not updated my blog. Recently I have took some time to relax by watching a few movies like : The Departed , Devil Wears Prada , World Trade Centre & lastly, The Guardian. My reflections :-

I enjoyed these shows and learning from them. Looking at World Trade Centre -- Speaks of 2 police officers who survived the crash on sept 11 05. They perserved after being trapped in the towers for the sake of their love ones and waiting and hoping for rescue. Rescue came and they are saved.

Devils wears Prada was a good show all about a young lady who did well in her career by working very hard with the world's top magazine and enjoyed all the fame n material benefits but losing her friends and love ones after changing her lifestyles and Goals she choose. After much pondering she was back to her old self being simple and not overly attached to her working life. bEing herself.
Remember what Christ Told us ! U What Good If u have the whole world but u loose ur soul.

The guardian -- Shows Rescue mission USCG when Ships are wrecked and people are down on sea seeking help. A must watch movie. A coast guard duty to save lifes even until to sacrifise his life for others to live. Speaks to all of us of our human selfish motives in surviving Not Concerning Others even love ones , Pride & Desire to be top of others.

Want to learn more about movies that relates to u , Go Watch them :) Enjoy :)

God Bless & Gd Day,

Rgds,

Is Loving Easy ? Do we Face The Plbms ?

Hi friends ,

Todays 1st reading speaks about our soul which is given by God and today's gospel is connected to last Friday's Gospel ( Relationship & Facing Reality) & last Wednesday's gospel ( Opening ourselves when we are hurt n seeking help from people ).

Ezekiel 37:1-4
Reflection on : Dying our old self n worries , leaving the wants behind , our flesh n skins ( Pride & Appearance ) , his breath enters us then we have new life.

* We pray today For All The Souls of our deceased Family , Relatives , Friends or Love ones.

Matthew 22:34-40
A Simple Word " LOVE " just like last friday's gospel of a relationship which LOVE involves.
A Relationship of our heart , mind ,soul & Loving everyone. Loving all is easier said then done.
Sometimes we have problems that stops us to LOVE n Accept our loves ones n friends or even in our community the best solution that our lord gave us is on last wednesday Gospel Matthew 18:15-20 is tat to trash it out privately with the person , if it still doesnt work then with a few trust worthy friends , if it still doesnt work then to the community. Most importantly To work things out with one another. ( Solving Your Issue Using the Help Of Proper Channels and Not Violence ! )

Trying to love and accept all by grace of God n interecession of our mother in total surrender,
Only Thru Prayer n Perserverance , We Can !

I really like this picture since the last YISS06 camp , For Your Reflection :)
