Daily Bible Verse 101
Thursday, July 12, 2018
Honey, please come back.
"Thus says the Lord:
Return, Israel, to the Lord, your God;
you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take with you words, and return to the Lord; Say to him, "Forgive all iniquity, and take what is good. Let us offer the fruit of our lips." (Hosea 14: 2 - 3).
Yahweh God in the above Scripture is pleading with His spouse, Israel who offended Him and keeps offending Him by her flagrant prostitution: "Honey, please come back. I am prepared to forgive and forget everything. Only tell Me that you are sorry and we can start all over as if nothing happened."
This is no melodrama here. This is the true Heart of God as presented in Sacred Scripture. We are all the wayward woman.
The Response the Holy Spirit prompts the Church to use in today's Sacred Liturgy is the very response of David when he was cornered by Prophet Nathan to admit his guilt of adultery and murder.
"Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. In your compassion blot out my offence. O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.
Indeed you love truth in the heart;
then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom. O purify me, then I shall be clean; O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.
A pure heart create for me, O God,
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
Give me again the joy of your help;
with a spirit of fervour sustain me,
O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.
(Psalm 51:3-4,8-9,12-14,17).
Ask for Mercy.
Be Merciful.
Completely trust Jesus for Mercy.

Daily Bible Verse 101
Tuesday, July 10, 2018
Wherever love and joy is to be found, there is God.
"But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons." (Matthew 9: 34).
Jesus cast out a demon from a mute demoniac and the Pharisees accuse Him of working under the power of the prince of demons.
Joy, peace, encouragement can never come from the Devil. UBI CARITAS (wherever love is to be found, there is God) is a popular song in the Church teaches that love comes only from God. Jesus is love, peace, joy and mercy incarnate. How can the Pharisees not see this?
St Paul advices his spiritual children:
"Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." (Philippians 4: 8).
These qualities come only from God.
"Every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit." (Matthew 7: 17 - 18). The Pharisees and their likes are known by their fruits.
How do you recognize the actions of God in your life? What are the fruits? Joy, peace, love, encouragement? They are from God. Sadness, fears, worries and doubts? They are from the Evil One.
Swing into spiritual warfare and reject them in the mighty Name of Jesus.

Daily Bible Verse 101
Tuesday, July 03, 2018
I command you stop doubting and you start believing now.
"Do not be unbelieving, but believe." (John 20: 27). - ĐỪNG CỨNG LÒNG NỮA; NHƯNG HÃY TIN.
The above text is a sharp rebuke of of Thomas the Apostle by Jesus. Thomas insisted that he had to see with his two eyes, stick his fingers into the nail holes before he would believe.
What is the principal error of Thomas? Against reason, he refused to believe the testimony of credible witnesses. He discounted the affirmation of Peter and the other apostles and Mary Magdalene who had become eye witnesses to the apparitions of Jesus after the Resurrection. Faith comes from believing the testimony of credible witnesses. There are just a few things in life you can see and touch. Vast majority of things we believe because someone we trust tells us so.
Disbelief, unbelief, unreasonable doubt are crippling mental states. Can you believe that there are folks among us today who deny the Holocaust? Victims of these barbarism still live among us.
Jesus told Thomas, "Stop doubting and believe." (John 20: 27). This command was all that Thomas needed to make him a super believer. Jesus too can command our doubts, fears and worries disappear. Let us ask Him:
Lord Jesus, command that we no longer be faithless but strong believers in You and Your mission. Say but a word Jesus and our doubts will be gone. Amen.
Today is the feast of St Thomas the Apostle, martyr and great missionary to India. This feast is a Solemnity in India.
St Thomas pray for us.

Daily Bible Verse 101
Sunday, July 08, 2018
My grace is sufficient for you = ƠN TA ĐÃ ĐỦ CHO CON
"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12: 9).
If the grace of Christ is sufficient for the Apostle Paul, the same grace of Jesus will do exactly the same for us. To enjoy this favor, understand and trust the Divine Providence. Then adopt these three steps to peace of heart and mind:
#1 Accept all that has happened.
#2 Accept everything that is happening.
#3 Cooperate with everything except what is sinful.
St Paul understood the mystery of Divine Providence and the Sufficiency of the Grace of God. His attitude underwent 360 degree change. Read St Paul's insight into mysteries of faith:
"I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12: 9 - 10).
Before you can boast of the things Paul boasted about, you must accept them.
Help us O Lord to know Your power working in us.

Daily Bible Verse 101
Saturday, June 30, 2018
Lord I am not worthy to receive You in my house.(Lạy Chúa! Con chẳng đáng Chúa ngự vào nhà con)
"Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed." (Matthew 8: 8).
Do you recognize the Scripture above as our prayer before Holy Comm? These are the words of a Roman Centurion to Jesus. The Church uses it as the most appropriate prayer to excite us to faith and humility. Ask yourself this question: If a military officer from pagan Rome can rise to this level of faith and humility, why not you? Why after years and years of Holy Comm can one deny Jesus the faith and reverence He expects and deserves in this great Sacrament? I think of three possible reasons:
.
The situation can be remedied. You can start growing and enjoying your faith by resolving today to give 15 minutes of your time every day to reading the Bible.
I believe in prayer.
I believe in the word of God.
I believe in miracle.
I Ieave the rest to God.
