Wednesday of the Twenty-fourth week
in Ordinary Time
I am writing you about these matters,
although I hope to visit you soon. But if I should be delayed, you should know
how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God,
the pillar and foundation of truth. Undeniably great is the mystery of
devotion, Who was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the spirit, seen by
angels, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up
in glory.
Hallelujah! I will praise the LORD
with all my heart in the assembled congregation of the upright. Great are the
works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them.
Majestic and glorious is His work, His righteousness endures forever. He won renown for his wondrous deeds; gracious
and merciful is the LORD.
He gives food to those
who fear Him, He remembers His covenant forever. He showed His
powerful deeds to His people, giving them the inheritance of the nations.
"Then to what shall
I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like
children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, 'We played the
flute for you, but you did not dance. We sang a dirge, but you did not weep.' For
John the Baptist came neither eating food nor drinking wine, and you said, 'He
is possessed by a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you said,
'Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
But wisdom is vindicated by all her children."

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.
