"By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." (John 15:8)

There is nothing that can make the Father truly happy than seeing His children living in an authentic Love similar to His love for us. Living in love makes our lives fruitful and in this way, people will know that we are Christ's disciples.

How can I concretely live out my love to my family, friends, enemies & community?

"Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it."
(1Corinthians 12: 27)

The sanctifying grace of God gives us the spirit of oneness with our fellowmen. Allowing Him to be one with us everyday will help us to be more aware of this oneness and be more willing to extend it to others. Let us continue in fixing our heart and mind to God for us to be sensitive and concerned of the needs, pains and hunger of our sisters and brothers. Let us not remain mum or silent or passive if the call to preach, to share and to reach out is Urgent.

Christ is like a single body, which has many parts; it is still one body, even though it is made up of different parts. (1 Cor. 1:12)

As a disciple we are all part of the mystical body of Christ. We are sent to different places w/ different realities & struggles yet we are bounded w/ one mission, to proclaim the gospel & the love of God to others through our life.
We can't do the mission alone, we need the help of other parts/members of the mystical body Christ to fulfill the mission entrusted to us by God.
​
What part are You of Christ's mystical body (mouth/hands/feet/etc)? Are you an Active part of His mytical body?

"Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all people." Mk 16:15

The fullness of the Body of Christ is in the growth of each of its members in prayer with the Word of God transforming their lives - proof of God's mercy, tenderness and love for all his people.

How does our daily prayer move us to preach the good news of the gospel to others like a mother concerned for what food her children are going to eat?

VERBUM DEI PRAYER BUDDIES

"Do not neglect the spiritual gift that is in you, which was given to you when the prophets spoke & the elders laid their hands on you."
(1Timothy 4:14)

We are so blessed to be entrusted with this spiritual gift. A gift that can give life, heal the wounded, appease the weary, and give hope to the oppressed. Let us be the hands and feet to reach others and be the prophets to speak the words. Fear to get humiliated is just a vital key for us to push more. Let us not be afraid to be God's prophet for others.
VERBUM DEI PRAYER BUDDIES

We do not try to please men, but to please God, who tests our motives. (1 Thes 2:4)



One of our main mission as disciples is to please God and to continue speaking and bringing the knowledge of truth for the salvation of many. By speaking and sharing the truth, we please God and not men.



In our own simple way, how can we please God today?

Such a sharp disagreement resulted that the two finally separated. (Acts 35: 39)

When we understand the reason why we preach the word of God, no conflict or misunderstanding can hinder us from doing it. We may face disagreement from fellow believers but this should not discourage us from fulfilling the task Jesus entrusted us to do. Let us focus on the mission given to us amidst the many forms of challenges we encounter along the way.
VERBUM DEI PRAYER BUDDIES

I solemnly urge you to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it,whether the time is right or not, to convince, reproach, & encourage, as you teach with all patience. (2Tim 4:2)



When we share God's Words, the fruits of our dialogue w/ Him & how it changes our way of thinking, living & loving; we allowed Him to speak to others & help them to become witnesses of His love & mercy at work in our lives. Many endure sufferings & long for a deep profound encounter w/ God who lives & accompanies us in the realities we face everyday.
How am I allowing Jesus to speak and love others through my life?

Jesus said, We must go on the other villages..I have to preach to them also, cause that is why I came.
(Mk 1:38)

We believe in an inclusive God--Someone whose desire is to draw all people to Him regardless of religion, race, culture, etc. Jesus does not limit in sharing the Father's love to a selected few only. But it is for all mankind that He died, so that everyone may know how much the Father loves them.
Do I share to others outside of my 'circle of comfort' the experience I have of God's love? Or do I keep it only to myself?

​VD PRAYER BUDDIES

"In this way we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments...anyone who does keep his word, in such a one God's love truly reaches its perfection."
(1John 2:3,5)



As disciples of Christ by our baptism, we are invited to Love, the legacy that Christ left to us in order to let His risen presence be felt in our world today. In this way, we live the perfection of His love in our lives.
