Readings
This word of the LORD of hosts came:
Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am intensely jealous for Zion, stirred to
jealous wrath for her.
Thus says the LORD: I will return to
Zion, and I will dwell within Jerusalem; Jerusalem shall be called the faithful
city, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.
Thus says the LORD of hosts: Old men
and old women, each with staff in hand because of old age, shall again sit in
the streets of Jerusalem. The city shall be filled with boys and girls playing
in her streets.
Thus says the LORD of hosts: Even if
this should seem impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people, shall it
in those days be impossible in my eyes also, says the LORD of hosts?
Thus says the LORD of hosts: Lo, I
will rescue my people from the land of the rising sun, and from the land of the
setting sun. I will bring them back to dwell within Jerusalem. They shall be my
people, and I will be their God, with faithfulness and justice.
The nations shall fear your name,
LORD, all the kings of the earth, your
glory, Once the LORD has rebuilt Zion and appeared in glory, Heeding the plea
of the lowly, not scorning their prayer.
Let this be written for the next
generation, for a people not yet born, that they may praise the LORD: The LORD
looked down from the holy heights, viewed the earth from heaven, To attend to
the groaning of the prisoners, to release those doomed to die.
May the children of your servants
live on; may their descendants live in your presence. Then the LORD’s name will
be declared on Zion, his praise in Jerusalem, When peoples and kingdoms gather
to serve the LORD.
An argument arose among the disciples
about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of their
hearts and took a child and placed it by his side and said to them,
"Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives
me receives the one who sent me.
For the one who is least among all of
you is the one who is the greatest."
Then John said in reply,
"Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to
prevent him because he does not follow in our company." Jesus said to him,
"Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you."

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.
