Friday of the Twenty-third week in
Ordinary Time
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by
command of God our savior and of Christ Jesus our hope, to Timothy, my true
child in faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus
our Lord.
I am grateful to him who has
strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in
appointing me to the ministry. I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and an
arrogant man, but I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of
ignorance in my unbelief. Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant,
along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Keep me safe, O God; in you I take
refuge. I say to the LORD, you are my Lord, you are my only good.
LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you have made my destiny secure.
Pleasant places were measured out for me; fair
to me indeed is my inheritance.
I bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night
my heart exhorts me.
I keep the LORD always before me;
with him at my right hand, I shall never be shaken. You will show me the path
to life, bounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand
forever.
And he told them
a parable, "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall
into a pit?
No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained,
every disciple will be like his teacher.
Why do you notice the splinter in your
brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
How can you say
to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,' when you
do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye?
You hypocrite! Remove the
wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the
splinter in your brother's eye.

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.
