GOD`S PATIENCE, MERCY, AND GRACE AMIDST EVIL INCLINATIONS: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 16TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

Our Sunday reflection of this week invites us to meditate on God`s patience, mercy, and grace upon us amidst our evil tendencies and inclinations. The problem of evil in the “best” world created by a powerful, loving, knowing, and omnipotent God is very unfathomable to the human mind and an enigma to human existence. Is God responsible for evil in the world? Shouldn´t He have prevented it, if He is all-powerful, all-presence, and all-knowing?

THE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

There is an immense power in our spoken word and more so, there is a living and effective power in the Word of God. Actually, the Word of God is God Himself. Hence, the Word of God and the heart of men and women are co-relational in Christian life. This is because the amount and quality of the fruits our hearts bear depend on the level and depth of integration the Word of God has in our hearts.
