Saturday of the Twenty-third week in Ordinary Time
This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost.
But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost,
Christ Jesus might display all His patience as an example for those who would
come to believe in Him for everlasting life.
To the king of ages, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and
forever.
From the rising of the sun to its
setting let the name of the LORD be praised. High above all nations is the
LORD; above the heavens his glory.
Who is like the LORD our God,
enthroned on high, looking down on heaven and earth? He raises the needy from
the dust, lifts the poor from the ash heap.
"A good
tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For
every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from
thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.
A good person out of the
store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store
of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I command? I will show you what someone is like who
comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them.
That one is like a person
building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the
flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because
it had been well built. But the one who listens and does not act is like a
person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river
burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed."

Dear Humanity,
I personally encourage everyone to emulate JESUS' values on LOVE, FAITH, HOPE
and CHARITY, as the humanity has been a failure; which resulted to the more than two (2) years of pandemic and its after-effects on economy, not only here in the Philippines but worldwide.
And the saddest part of it, is that, it affected the POOREST of the POOR to even extremely be more poorer, in exchange of the affluent to be more richer.
Thank you and may GOD bless you and the whole family to have an enjoyed life's journey at home, Church, schools/universities, corporate commitments, public and places of interest.
