GOD IS LOVE! LOVE IS ALL! CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION 30TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY SUNDAY CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

Love is all that there is to life and Christian living. Hence, no matter our intelligence and knowledge of the Holy Scripture, doctrine and theological discourses on God, the Church and Christian life, faith and spirituality. If our lives do not reflect the basic empathy to relate, connect, feel or love, then all is nothing. Love is all there is in the Christian faith, life and spirituality.

A GOOD CHRISTIAN IS GOOD CITIZEN: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

A good Christian is a good citizen is the principle of Dual citizenship and dual obligations: This doctrine is sometimes called the “doctrine of the two powers,” or the “two realms,” meaning that the life of a Christian involves a twofold allegiance: to the ruling government in civil and secular issues, and to God and the Church as regards spiritual and religious issues.

FEAST OF JOY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

One basic and undeniable fact of our Christian life is that God always calls or invites us to the feast of joy. The Eucharist and communitarian liturgical celebrations are enriching with the Word of God and the communion of brothers and sisters.

God always invites us to a life of grace, joy, and celebration. He invites us to an intimate, rich, and abundant life with Him and in Him. God´s invitation is with a wide-armed, open-hearted, and generous hospitality. That is gratuitous, full, and lavish.

GIVING GOD HIS FRUITS: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE A, 2023

ByOnuh

The Christian life and testimony are about giving God his deserved fruits for investing richly and graciously in us. We are the choicest vine planted on a well-prepared and fertile land. We are enriched in all graces and blessings to bear abundant fruits to the glory of God.

Therefore, a Christian needs to bear fruits that last and are commensurate to the grace and blessings lavished on us. No, to bear fruits is a waste of the kingdom project of God. Hence, the greatest tragedy of Christianity is a Christian who lives a fruitless life upon all the graces and blessings God bestowed on him.
