The Words Of Jesus 

Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

Lord, help us to forgive and forget our adversaries in all situations. 

So then, if you are bringing your offering to the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar, go and be reconciled with your brother first, and then come back and present your offering. 25 Come to terms with your opponent in good time while you are still on the way to the court with him, or he may hand you over to the judge and the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26 In truth I tell you, you will not get out till you have paid the last penny. (Matthew 5:23–26, NJB

We have to reconcile with our brothers and sisters if there is any kind of bitterness or or any other kind of sins we done against them to be asked forgiveness. if the situation not allowing us to ask pardon personally forgive them in our heart without any bitterness in our mind or heart. Our willingness to forgive our neighbors or enemies are matter in the kingdom of God. If there is any dispute with any person reconcile with that person before the situation become worse. So better to talk to that person before he approaches the court of jurisdiction to file a case against us. Lord, help us to forgive and forget our adversaries in all situations.

The Words Of Jesus 

Meditating the Words of Jesus from Holy Scriptures 

Lord, teach us how to be faithful to You 

For I tell you, if your uprightness does not surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:20, NJB) We are called to be upright and leading holy life for the kingdom of God. unless we don’t surpass the uprightness of Scropines and Pharisees we will not enter into the kingdom of God. Have any of the authorities come to believe in him? Any of the Pharisees? (John 7:48, NJB) The Pharisees never believes Jesus is the Son of God or he came from God. Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and every kind of corruption. 28 In just the same way, from the outside you look upright, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matthew 23:27–28, NJB).The Scribes and Pharisees asked for a sign from Jesus, he is the Messiah. Only one sign Jesus wants to recael to thwm that is of Jonah the prophet. He was disobeyed God and was thrown into the deep sea and God saved him in the belly of a Whale and third day he came out of the belly of the fish alive. Jesus same way Son of man will be died and third day will rise again from the dead. He replied, ‘It is an evil and unfaithful generation that asks for a sign! The only sign it will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah. (Matthew 12:39, NJB)

Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

  

Today is the last day of July and this month we remembered the Precious Blood of Jesus which became our salvation. Only through the Blood of Jesus we receive the redemption and we receive the remission of our sins. How blessed we are, as we have the Eternal Priest who shed his own blood for us and purchased us with His Precious Blood, which is having the highest redemptive value on earth and in Heaven. Let us thank the Heavenly Father as He brought us His only Son to be sacrificed on the Cross as a true libation as it was His heavenly plan for our salvation.. 

Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XXII

Jesus said, this cup is the New Covenant in my Blood. 

  1 Corinthians 11:23–27 (NJB): 23 For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, 24 and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 25 And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.’ 26 Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord’s death until he comes. 27 Therefore anyone who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily is answerable for the body and blood of the Lord.

  St Paul spoke here about the Eucharist, which Jesus established as the Eternal Covenant  which we have received as the Catholic Church Teaching and tradition  which followed by Apostles and the disciples since the resurrection of Jesus. He acquired this information from the Lord. We all believe in this tradition and henceforth by attending the Holy Mass. We join the Priest in consecrating the bread and wine, which become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. We all do this to remember Jesus' death and resurrection. He has given us his flesh, his Body, to eat and drink, and the wine becomes his Blood after the priest consecrates it. Through his Precious Blood, Jesus established the New Everlasting Covenant in eternity.

   So, whenever we attend the Holy Mass and receive Holy Communion, we should examine ourselves and our unworthiness. We must reconcile with the Lord before consuming him; else, we will be held responsible for the Body and Blood of Jesus our Lord!

Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XVII

The blood of Jesus, the Sacrificial Victim makes the expiation of sins

Exodus 30:10 (NJB): Once a year, Aaron will perform the rite of expiation on the horns of the altar; once a year, on the Day of Expiation, with the blood of the sacrifice for sin, he will make expiation for himself, for all your generations to come. It is especially holy for Yahweh.’ In ancient Israel, priests sacrificed animals on the altar for the remission of Israelites' sins. The priest himself performs the remission of sins by sin offering for him. All of these sacrifices represent the single sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God's only Son. Jesus had heard God the Father's voice confirming the fulfillment of His wish to make Jesus the eternal sacrifice for sin. It was fulfillment of the prophesy of Isiah. In Isaiah 6:8 (NJB): I then heard the voice of the Lord saying: ‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I, send me.’ Jesus tells his Father, ‘Here I am send me to fulfill Your mission’ Jesus was ready to be sacrificed for the whole humanity that was salvation Heavenly wants from Jesus, and it is fulfilled.

Precious Blood of Jesus 

Lord Jesus, we humbly implore you to protect us by your Precious Blood,

Matthew 27:24–26 (NJB): So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ 25 And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ 26 Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified. 

When Pilate was about to pronounce his decision on Jesus, he considered not giving him the death penalty. Pilate told the Jews that he was not guilty of Jesus' blood.  But the Jews were not ready to release Jesus; instead, they wanted to kill him and crucify him. They all yelled, "Let the Blood of Jesus be on us and on our children!" The Jews were unwilling to release Jesus the innocent, yet Jesus was considered as a criminal. The Jews were responsible for Jesus' crucifixion, and he shed his Precious Blood for all humanity in order to rescue us unconditionally. The ultimate reality is that God is crucified when He is born in the flesh of His only Son.

Lord Jesus, we humbly implore you to protect us by your Precious Blood, free us from all kind of malices and wickedness of this world. 

A Poem on St Mary Magdalene

A Very Happy Feast of St Mary Magdalene 

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise continually on my lips.

Mary Magdalene

Oh Mary Magdalene, Lord has  chosen you, to see Him first after the resurrection to tell the story to his brothers (Apostles) and to the whole world without the fear. 

She said: I sought but could not find him!
So I shall get up and go through the city;
In the streets and in the squares,
I shall seek my sweetheart.
I sought but could not find him!
I came upon the watchmen—those who go on their rounds in the city:
‘Have you seen my sweetheart?’
Barely had I passed them when I found my sweetheart.
I caught him, would not let him go

Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
Come my bride, come to me, come closer to me,
Let my kiss enrich you with my Divine Mercy.
I’ll bring the light into your life,
Forget your own father’s house of your world.

Come to my Fathers’ house of eternal glory,
Where you can have milk and honey abundantly
The honey is sweeter than the honey of your world
No money no wealth can buy this

Come my bride, come to me and hold my hand
Come to my green pastures to give you rest
Come and drink the living water,
I give you, which flowing from my heart

I give this entire blessing; to those I loved so much,
And those who loves me with all her heart,
But you are my heart and soul,
Rest on my chest and hear my song of love

I have chosen you among all the lilies and roses
And from all that beauties of this world
But I ask you one thing, only one thing,
Will you give me your heart to make a home for me?

Note: Actually it was written while I was reading the Song of Songs many years ago, and today's reading also was from Song of Songs. Because of today is the feast of `Mary Magdalene, and thought this will be appropriate to honour her with this poem. Thank you Lord, for reminding us about your loving saint, St Mary Magdalene.

Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XIII

Anyone who eat my Body and drink my Blood has eternal life

John 6:54–56 (NJB): Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person. 

Jesus discloses the mystery of the Eucharist. He declares that whomever eats his flesh and drinks his blood will have eternal life. Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John contains the Eucharistic discourse, in which he discloses the mystery of his Body and Blood. Jesus became the only sacrifice for our salivation. God established the everlasting covenant, which was revealed to His prophets and sealed by the Blood of Jesus. He founded the Eucharist, with the Body and Blood serving as eternal aliment. Those who eat his Body and drink his Blood shall live eternally. Jesus says that when we eat his Body and drink his Blood, we live in Him, and He lives in that person forever. Jn 6: 53 (NJB)Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Jesus states that if we don't consume His flesh and blood, we won't have life. So Jesus offers us life when we eat and drink His Body and Blood with reverence and Godly repentance.
