Now I rejoice in my
sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in
the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His body, which is the church, of which
I am a minister in accordance with God's stewardship given to me to bring to
completion for you the word of God, the mystery hidden from ages and from
generations past.
But now it has been
manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for
glory.
It is He whom we proclaim,
admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present
everyone perfect in Christ.
For this I labor and
struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me.
For I want you to know how
great a struggle I am having for you and for those in Laodicea and all who have
not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged as they are
brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured
understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ, in whom are
hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
God alone is my rock and my
salvation, my fortress; I shall not fall.
My deliverance and honor are
with God, my strong rock; my refuge is with God.
Trust God at all times, my
people! Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!
On another Sabbath, He went
into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was
withered.
The scribes and the
Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the Sabbath so that
they might discover a reason to accuse him.
But He realized their
intentions and said to the man with the withered hand, "Come up and stand
before us." And he rose and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them,
"I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?"
Looking around at them
all, He then said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so and his
hand was restored.
But they became enraged
and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

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.
