We are not Christians today if no one proclaimed it to us. Now, it is our turn to proclaim our faith to others and pass it on to the next generations. God gives us opportunities to share to others the greatest treasure that we can have in this world, and this treasure is JESUS. Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace of openness to help others to see the Love of Jesus through our life. VERBUM DEI PRAYER BUDDIES

Prayer Buddies: August 20, 2018"...if you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor...then come and follow me."(Matt.19:16-22)
The sad reality in a Christan life is our "justified righteousnes" or double standards. We keep the luxuries of our time to our comforts, and yet call it service. We put so much premium on the values of our efforts, and yet call it selfgiving. And, we hold on so much on our money that we call our little alms Charity? Let go and follow Christ!
