    GOD IS CLOSER TO US THAN WATER TO A FISH. (ST CATHERINE OF SIENA).

    “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. (Matthew 11: 25 - 26).

    Friday April 29th 2022, 2nd Week in the Easter Season is the feast of a giant of the faith: St Catherine of Siena (1347 - 1380). Italian Dominican Tertiary. Virgin and Doctor of the Church.

    Catherine died at the age of 33 and accomplished for the Kingdom of God what most of us could never accomplish even if we live to be 90 years. 

    She brought about the renewal of the Church in a period of moral laxity. She was instrumental in reuniting the Church during the great Western Schism. She authored a spiritual classic, THE DIALOGUE. Catherine is the first woman to be named Doctor of the Church. She is the patron saint of plagues and Italy and co-patron saint of Europe with St Benedict.

    God set St Catherine on fire with divine love and boldness in the service of the Church. And Catherine set the Church on fire with her zeal and service.

    "Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire." St Catherine of Siena said and lived this maxim. One of the poignant lessons of our key Scripture from Acts 4: 31, the first Reading is the power of prayer. God answers prayers.

    A few quotes to nourish our faith from St Catherine of Siena:

    1. “Love follows knowledge.”
    2. “The human heart is drawn by love.”
    3. "Humanity is nothing of itself; what we have, we have from God by grace, not because he owes it to us."
    4. “God is more willing to pardon than we have been to sin.”
    5. “What father ever gave up his son to death for the sake of his slave!”.
    6. “God was made man and man was made God.”
    7. “Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.”
    8. “All the way to heaven is heaven, because Jesus said, "I am the way.”

    Let us note that St Catherine of Siena had no formal education.

    "Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children." (Matthew 11: 25).

    DAILY BIBLE VERSE

    "NEVER WILL ANYONE WHO SAYS HIS ROSARY EVERY DAY BECOME A FORMAL HERETIC OR BE LED ASTRAY BY THE DEVIL." (ST LOUIS MARIE DE MONFORT, APOSTLE OF THE ROSARY).

    "The one who comes from above is above all. ...... He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit." (John 3: 31...36).

    Thursday April 28th 2022, 2nd Week in the Easter Season.

    April 28th is the feast of two French saints: St Peter Chanel and St Louis de Monfort.

    Louis de Monfort was born on the 31st of January 1673 in Monfort in France. Louis was ordained a priest in 1700. His great contribution was in fostering devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the holy Rosary.
    In 1715, he founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary. Among his books which are still in print are: TRUE DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN; SECRET OF THE Rosary.

    Louis de Monfort made the Rosary one of the most popular Catholic devotions throughout the world. Catholics everywhere are indebted to him for articulating the incredible
    powers of this simple devotion.

    St Peter Chanel (1803 - 1841). Priest and Martyr. St Peter Chanel died a martyr in the island of Futuna in the Oceania.

    The Holy Spirit and Peace are the dominant theme of the Easter Season.

    We are told that God does not ration His Holy Spirit. When you ask for the Holy Spirit in faith, be sure you will receive what you ask for. God told Solomon when he asked for wisdom and not for riches and power: "Here and now I grant you what you ask for and more."

    Jesus promises: Ask and you shall receive. If you ask for the Holy Spirit, your Father will be so delighted that He will give you what you ask for at once.

    The Father does not ration the Holy Spirit. It means you receive in direct proportion to your desire and capacity to receive. The Holy Spirit is the source of abundant life.

    Ask for the Holy Spirit today.

    "LET NOTHING TROUBLE YOU, LET NOTHING FRIGHTEN YOU.
    GOD NEVER CHANGES.
    PATIENCE OBTAINS ALL THINGS.  HE WHO POSSESSES GOD LACKS NOTHING : GOD ALONE SUFFICES." (ST TERESA OF AVILA).

    "The high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the Apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them [Peter and John] out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught."  (Acts 5: 17....  26).

    Wednesday 27th April 2022, in the 2nd Week in the Easter Season.

    A note in the margin of the Daily Roman Missal for Wednesday of the 2nd Week of Easter reads: "Mission/Purpose Wednesday." Why? The Scriptures for this Wednesday are replete of Mission statements. Peter and John discovered in Acts 5: 19 - 20, that when God anoints you for a mission, no force on earth can stop you. Did not God promise:

    "I have set in front of you an open door that no one can shut." (Revelation 3: 8 CEB).

    In the Gospel of today, we are urged to proclaim the Good News to everyone, everywhere in the world:
    "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3: 16).

    Our response to the divine invitation to come forward and participate in the work of evangelization is proposed for us in the Entrance Antiphon:

    "I will be a witness to You in the world O Lord.  I will spread the knowledge of your name among my brothers, Alleluia! " (Psalm 18:50;  22 :23 RM)

    Yes Lord, I will share Your Gospel with my brothers and sisters.

    Tình yêu của Chúa không bao giờ thay đổi: 

    Nhưng Đức Chúa Trời tỏ lòng yêu thương Ngài đối với chúng ta, khi chúng ta còn là người có tội, thì Đấng Ki Tô  vì chúng ta chịu chết.” (Rô-ma 5:8)

    Chúa yêu chúng ta, và Ngài sẵn sàng tha thứ cho chúng ta, bởi Đức Chúa Trời đã ban con một của Ngài xuống thế gian chịu chết thay chúng ta. Đức Chúa Trời là sự yêu thương.”(I Gioan 4:8)

    Lời Chúa trong kinh thánh không thay đổi.

     “Cỏ khô, hoa rụng; nhưng lời của Đức Chúa Trời chúng ta còn mãi đời đời!” (Ê-saia 40:8). 

    Trong Thánh Vịnh có chép: “Hỡi Đức Giê-hô-va, lời Ngài được vững lập đời đời trên trời.” (Thánh Vịnh 119:89).

    JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUTH. ONLY ABSOLUTE TRUTH CAN GIVE US ABSOLUTE STABILITY IN THIS WORLD.

    The Apostles bore powerful witness to the Resurrection of Jesus.

    "The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the Apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the Apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need." (Acts 4: 32 - 37).

    Tuesday, April 26th of the 2nd week of Easter.

    The first Reading from Acts 4: 32 - 37 answers our curiosity: How did those very first Christians live? They had no doubt great problems but also great community life. Our key Scripture for today deals with one crucial aspect: The Apostles testified with powerful sermons to the Resurrection of Jesus. Their testimony was so convincing that many people believed.

    The Resurrection of the Lord became their magnificent obsession. This is a very important and interesting point given their initial timidity after the Crucifixion. What made the difference? Let us hear from Jesus.
    "You must be born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]." (John 3: 7 AMP).
    In plain language it means: "To understand and believe in the Resurrection of Jesus and bear witness to it by your life day after the day, you must receive and activate the gift of the Holy Spirit."

    All things are created twice. The first creation is earthy and earthly. Like Adam. The second creation is heavenly like Jesus.
    Do you embrace your mission of bearing witness to the Resurrection of the Lord by sharing your gifts of time, talent and treasure?

    "Alleluia, alleluia!
    You, O Christ, are the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, you have loved us and have washed away our sins with your blood. Alleluia!" (Revelations 1: 5).
