⏰Saturday of the Fourth Week of Lent (06 April 2019) 📖Jer 11:18-20; Ps 7:2-3, 9bc-10, 11-12 (R.v.2a); John 7:40-53 Do you understand why we have been focused on the troubles of the just in the hands of evil men in recent days? It suits the time that we are in presently. The passion week (Holy Week) of Jesus is just some days off. And by now, the Jewish leaders were already planning on how best to deal with him.

⏰Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent (16 March 2018) ????Wis 2:1a, 12-22; Ps 34:17-18, 19-20, 21 and 23 (R.v.19a); John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30 “The wicked said among themselves, thinking not aright: Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings, Reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with violations of our training…These were their thoughts, but they erred; for their wickedness blinded them, and they knew not the hidden counsels of God; neither did they count on a recompense of holiness nor discern the innocent souls reward”...

These are the ills that destroy our world today. We are so power conscious that we use others as foot mats and steps while aiming at greatness. Just imagine how beautiful this world would be when we all try to emulate the humility, selflessness and the intercessory role of Moses. God made him a promise that would have made him very successful but that is to the detriment of others. So he...

⏰Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Lent (13 March 2018) ????Ezek 47:1-9, 12; Ps 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9 (R.v.8); John 5:1-16 ????JESUS, THE SOURCE OF LIVING WATER How do you feel reading through Ezek 47:1-12? Do you see a strong connection between the Temple, from which flows the water that brings life, and Jesus who is the source of living water? (See John 4:14). He had made that strong connection himself when he told the Jews, “Destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19). So we can say that Jesus becomes the new Temple that...

He says that God is going to do something new in our lives (cf. Isa 65:17-21), A-M-E-N!
