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

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.

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

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

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.
