Show us, Lord, your love;
and grant us your salvation.

The Kingdom of God is at hand Repent and believe in the Gospel of Christ is the Proclamation of the Kingdom of God at the inauguration of Jesus Ministry or manifestation of the public plan of the Salvation on this Earth. This is the only message echoes again and again in the whole of the Word of God the Bible and the order of God’s People the Church. The Gospel of Christ is a Gospel of Repentance which is the Gospel of Love. All Commandments and teachings of the Church and our devotions are hanging upon this single truth.

The People of God the Church is engaged in so many activities on this Earth to build the Kingdom of God that the very purpose of the Church which is to repent and believe in the Gospel of Christ or Gospel of love is completely missing among us. Let us take our Families for example, love of God must be the center of our family life above all other things. We are so much busy in our external Prosperity and safety of our life so that the Purpose of our life is missed in our life. All Prosperity like finance, Shelter, entertainment ,knowledge are the packaging of the gift of love. We are so much busy in packing our life externally so that we forget to place the main content for which we struggle our whole life on this World.

Jesus has already defeated the Enemy and ascended in to Heaven and received the Kingship of this Earth,then why the Messianic Age is not visible among us . All Dominions, Nations must bow before his Lordship because he has achieved this Salvation by humbling himself like a sinful man and sacrificing his life for the Whole World . The Evil Kingdom has been defeated and the whole World has been given to him. Messianic Age or the Kingdom of God is among us but we are not able to recognize it due to our busyness in gathering the rubbish things of this World. Thomas asked Jesus after his resurrection when you will restore the World Jesus replied” “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority , But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The Salvation or the Messianic Age starts with the power from above , when we receive this power of the Holy spirit, our eyes will be opened and we stop getting busy in the rubbish things of this Earth and become Witnesses to the Gospel in our Own family first then to our surrounding and to end of the World. Some people think. to witness the Gospel of Christ we must become Preachers or Priests , this is a misconception , by virtue of our Baptism and Conversion we are Priests and Prophets . We must witness to the love of Christ in our families by living like Christ by sacrificing our life totally for the family. We must witness Christ in our surroundings and neighborhood by sacrificing our life or giving our life for the service of the Society. We must become witness to the Whole World by reaching out each and every brother and sister to help them to come out of the bondage of sinfulness and walk through the Gospel of love. Jesus is love and all those walk in love , walk with Jesus.

Baptism is repentance or the Conversion of Heart , if a person has detested his evil ways and accepted the Gospel of love then this person has been Baptized in virtue , a separate ritual ceremony for Baptism is not required for these followers of the Gospel. These are Christians by Virtue and actions. There is a big no of followers of Christ under this banner , the Laws and rituals comes from the Worldly institutions but real Sacraments comes from above when power from the Holy spirit is poured out in to our hearts. Nations may number followers of Christ in the institutionalized list but the people of love is the identity to number every Christian on this Earth.

Messianic Age has been delayed by us by portraying a wrong image of the Gospel of Christ, Messianic Age is a age of love and justice, whoever lives in love and justice the messianic age has already come in his life. The people of God are in a purification process and the Salvation is not like one activity but a process of transformation of hearts and this must continue from the beginning till the end of the Earth. This Wisdom of restoration and end of the World or last Judgement are a plan of God and not figurative but a divine human cooperation. Let us live in love and Watch and pray to receive the power from above so that we may have strength to stand before the God of love and justice .

Prayer : Maranatha…. Come Lord Jesus Come….

So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” 
Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. 
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth. 
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

The Definition of King or Queen is defender of Faith. Faith is a final product of Justice, truth, peace and love. If a Leader does not defend justice,truth,peace and love then by default and by virtue they do not become a Leader or King. Jesus Christ witnessed the Kingdom of love and forgiveness and made every follower of his a King and Priest in this World. Injustice, Manipulation, Hatred, partiality, selfishness, self ideologies comes from the Evil Kingdom and there is no truth in it . If there is truth in any activity , the followers of truth recognize the truth and follow the truth .

In today’s World we search Jesus Christ in man made Buildings or Worship places. We gather together to exalt him and praise him and lift his name. We literally do what the Pagans do , but a question for personal reflection for every individual -do Jesus Christ wants a priesthood of liturgy or a priesthood of Witness. We are so much engrossed in a ritualistic and liturgical service like others we have lost the true Worship of truth and service. Mother Theresa is the only priest who represented Christ in the streets of the vulnerable. Where is the truth in our Catholic Schools or Hospitals or Churches or Retreat Houses. It is all number game of supremacy and elite community of Worldly discipline.

Jesus Christ came in to this World to witness the truth and justice and become a model to us to enlighten us through his teaching and sacrifice on the Cross. Every person who is enlightened with the Gospel of truth transforms in to a priest , King and Prophet and does like his Master. They become the true beacon for Christ in this World. The Evangelisation has become like a worldly marketing , blaming other religions and their rituals and making a hype of our religion is not religion at all. Many people get transformed in these retreat houses but remain same in their attitude and daily life. We require Communities who not only teach but teach to practice the truth.

We can not see any truth among Priests , preachers or Leaders of the Church. Why we point out at politicians or Entrepreneurs , they are Worldly people who work for Worldly Kingdom of Wealth and Success. The people of God must awaken to the truth of today’s World which does not lie in liturgical and sophisticated liturgical formatted preaching sessions of the Church but in truth and service in the light of the Gospel. Why Europe is away from God because there are only rituals in Faith but there is no brotherhood and love. The Communities or Families who follow the truth of the Gospel must become more like Jesus Christ and become true Christians in this World.

Today as we celebrate the feast of Christ the King , let us make him a true King by reaching out to the poor brothers and sisters in our own family and friends . Also spread his teachings with every person we meet in humility and brotherhood. Jesus never blamed other religions but loved the Samaritans and Canaanites and gave examples of their faithfulness and charity to the ritualistic Jews. We have wonderful brothers and sisters whose traditions and beliefs absolutely match to the truth of the Gospel. Let us concentrate on the Common things which we believe as Human Family and live as brothers and sisters which is more important than talking about teaching of Christ.

I buy my grocery from a particular shop and talk to them about their family children and never revealed my faith. After six months the family approaches me and asks me to pray for their Children who was in trouble. I prayed for them quietly in my House during my personal prayer. Every time I visit them to buy my Grocery they want to know more about me and my beliefs. I asked them why u want to know more about me and my faith, they said we feel nice talking to you and we get peace in talking to you. Tomorrow if this family encounters the truth of the Gospel who can stop them from following Christ.

Prayer : Lord Jesus come and reign in our hearts.

SALVATION IS A CONTINUOUS ACTIVITY LIVED IN HOLINESS AND SERVICE.

Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday- November -14

Be vigilant at all times
and pray that you have the strength to stand before the Son of Man.- Luke 21-26

Salvation is unpredictable even for the best of the Saints so the Salvation must be lived in fear and trembling at every moment of our life. The Plan of Salvation is a call to Holiness so when we say no to SIN at every moment of our life we are in the Salvation Plan. If we are in SIN then we are out of the Kingdom of God . The Book of Life has full record of our life ,and the good and Evil Angels represent our case before the Lord on the last day. God will not accuse us but the Evil Angel will bring all the accusations to claim our soul, it is very scary to be lost to the Evil Kingdom or Hell . Prayer and Vigil are the two instruments of God which keep us in the Presence of God. When we are in the presence of God’s Grace we get Wisdom and Strength to resist SIN and the Evil one.

I recommend for all those who fall in to temptation repeatedly or can not resist the Temptations and fall in to SIN to make a Schedule of Seven times Prayer. If we pray for every three Hours for the Strength and Grace specially to resist Sin and live in Holiness we may not fall in to Sin. A simple Prayer of Our Father , Hail Mary and a Spontaneous Prayer to fill us with his grace and love is enough each time but if we get more time it is better to sit before the Lord in Personal Prayer and Family Prayer and ask for grace and Strength.

In today’s World we need to be Vigilant at all times , Watch and Pray must be the Slogan of our every day Spiritual life. Salvation is not guaranteed for those who SIN again and again although they have experienced the Lord’s Salvation. Judas Iscariot had experienced the Lord’s Salvation but he did not live that Salvation by forgiveness and humility but chose the other way in remorse, disappointment and guilt. The Confession of our Sins is the Bonus for our Salvation , Lord has given us en number of ways to get rid of the sting of the SIN. The Holy Spirit is the permanent guarantee of our Salvation and we receive the love of God in Seven Sacraments which are the channels of grace. The works of Mercy and Charity are the clear sign of our membership in the Kingdom of God. A person who avoids Sin always engages in the Works of God and tries to build the Kingdom of love on this Earth. A Sinner can not do any acts of Charity , if at all they do charity , it will be only to receive self Glory.

Let us Work on our Salvation through Prayer, Sacraments and Good Works and build the Kingdom of Love on this Earth.

Prayer : Maranatha… Come Lord Jesus Come…
