Wednesday of the Third Week of the
Cross
"To the angel of the church in
Laodicea, write this: " 'The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
source of God's creation, says this: "I know your works; I know that you
are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot.
So, because
you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For
you say, 'I am rich and affluent and have no need of anything,' and yet do not
realize that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
I advise you
to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white
garments to put on so that your shameful nakedness may not be exposed, and buy
ointment to smear on your eyes so that you may
see.
Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise. Be earnest, therefore,
and repent. " '"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, (then) I will enter his house and dine with
him, and he with me. I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne,
as I myself first won the victory and sit with my Father on his throne. "
'"Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the
churches."
How can one enter a strong man’s
house and plunder his property, without first tying up the strong man? Then
indeed the house can be plundered.
Whoever is not with me is against me,
and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Therefore I tell you, people will be
forgiven for every sin and blasphemy , but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Whoever speaks a word against the Son
of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be
forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

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.
