we continue to pray for her quick path to recovery.

Glory to God in the Highest, and peace to men of goodwill. Amen.

That's good to know, blessed be God, blessed be His Holy name!

"It is vanity to follow the desires of the flesh and to desire that for wish you must afterwards be grieviously punished"

                                                       Imitation of Christ

This great saint also said in his book that it is vanity to attend only to this present life and not to look to those things which are to come,

I'll like to share my reflection this morning on the words of Thomas A Kempis (Imitation of Christ)

"Oh, if men would use as much diligence in rooting out vices and planting virtues, as they do in proposing questions, there would not be so many evils nor scandals among the people.
Verily, when the day of judgement comes, we shall not be examined on what we have read, but on what we have done; not on how learnedly we have spoken, but on how religiously we have lived".

He is truly great, who has great charity.
He is truly great, who is little in his own eyes and esteems all honours as naught.
He is truly prudent who considers all earthly things as nothing, that he may gain Christ.
And he is very learned indeed, who does the will of God, and renounces his own will.

Dear Lord Jesus, grant us a truly Christian spirit, a Christian heart and guide us in the paths of Christain life. Grant that we may direct all our knowledge and exertions to please and to love you and to obtain your love for time and eternity.
Amen!

Have a restful weekend peeps,

hey guys make una enjoy the weekend and see you on monday (hopefully)

In today's Gospel reading, clearly Jesus was not discussing sheep just because they are gentle, pleasant animals, rather He used their innocent, trusting nature to demonstrate the qualities that will enable us to know Him more.
The sheep will follow only the shepherd's voice because they know that he has their concerns at the forefront of his heart

We live in a time when many voices call out to us in the course of a day. While some of these voices are good and others not so good, any one of them can quickly gain the upper hand and distract us from the one Voice we should never ignore: the voice of Jesus

When we give the other voices top priority, we end up distant from the Lord - and that can lead us to feeling distracted. tired and unproductive. By contrast, when we are listening to Jesus, his words confort us and give us peace. He helps us with our responsibilities and he helps to quiet the voice of anxiety or resentment.

Though all our worries will not disappear overnight, some may never go away, but Jesus promises that like the good shepherd, He will never abandon us. He will walk with us and guide us with his wisdom.

Happy Good Shepherd Sunday all! 

Let us surrender our hearts to Jesus, He knows everything we need. Let us ask Him to help us hear His voice above all the others. We must cling to Him alone, who is our Good Shepherd.

Our Mother Mary is ever willing to help us decipher the many voices we hear, She is there to lead us to Jesus, please go to Her and pay no attention to what others say about Her, She is the Mother of our Saviour Jesus Christ, 

I love you Jesus and Mary,I love the members of the Church Triumphant, the Church Militant and the Church Suffering, I love you all on this thread, 

Peeps, this is wishing y'all a great week and a much better tomorrow

@ Viee, how ur exams naw?

FOR SOME OF US, HERE IS TODAY'S READING

FIRST READING:                Acts of the Apostles 11:1-18

The apostles and the brothers in Judaea heard that the pagans too had accepted the word of God, and when Peter came up to Jerusalem the Jews criticised him and said, 'So you have been visiting the uncircumcised and eating with them, have you?' Peter in reply gave them the details point by point: 'One day, when I was in the town of Jaffa,' he began 'I fell into a trance as I was praying and had a vision of something like a big sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. This sheet reached the ground quite close to me. I watched it intently and saw all sorts of animals and wild beasts - everything possible that could walk, crawl or fly. Then I heard a voice that said to me, "Now, Peter; kill and eat!" But I answered: Certainly not, Lord; nothing profane or unclean has ever crossed my lips. And a second time the voice spoke from heaven, "What God has made clean, you have no right to call profane". This was repeated three times, before the whole of it was drawn up to heaven again.

Just at that moment, three men stopped outside the house where we were staying; they had been sent from Caesarea to fetch me, and the Spirit told me to have no hesitation about going back with them. The six brothers here came with me as well, and we entered the man's house. He told us he had seen an angel standing in his house who said, "Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon known as Peter; he has a message for you that will save you and your entire household".

I had scarcely begun to speak when the Holy Spirit came down on them in the same way as it came on us at the beginning, and I remembered that the Lord had said, "John baptised with water, but you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit". I realised then that God was giving them the identical thing he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; and who was I to stand in God's way?'

This account satisfied them, and they gave glory to God. 'God' they said 'can evidently grant even the pagans the repentance that leads to life.'

Responsorial Psalm  Ps 41
Response:                          My soul is thirsting for God,
                                              the God of my life.
Or                                         Alleluia!

1. Like the deer that yearns
    for running streams,
    so my soul is yearning
    for you, my God.                                     Response

2. My soul is thirsting for God,
    the God of my life;
    when can I enter and see
    the face of God?                                    Response

3. O send forth your light and your truth;
    let these be my guide.
    Let them bring me to your holy mountain
    to the place where you dwell.            Response

4. And I will come to the altar of God,
    the God of my joy.
    My redeemer, I will thank you on the harp,
     O God, my God                                    Response

GOSPEL:                          John 10:1-10Jesus said: 'I tell you most solemnly, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but gets in some other way is a thief and a brigand. The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out his flock, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice. They never follow a stranger but run away from him: they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'

Jesus told them this parable but they failed to understand what he meant by telling it to them.

So Jesus spoke to them again:

'I tell you most solemnly,
I am the gate of the sheepfold.
All others who have come are thieves and brigands;
but the sheep took no notice of them
I am the gate.
Anyone who enters through me will be safe:
he will go freely in and out and be sure of finding pasture.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come so that they may have life
and have it to the full.

Pamperme thanks for today's reading - God can grant even the pagans the repentance that leads to life.  God has a perfect plan for the salvation of all people, he knocks on the door of our heart pleading to come in and dine with us, only if we will open for him.
