THE GREATEST JOY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS OF THE WEEK: 31ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

Nothing brings us greater joy than putting God first, others second, and ourselves. This is the principle of Christian spirituality: God first in all things. The urgent call is to seek God’s kingdom and its righteousness first, and then other things will be added (Mat.6:33).

THE JOY OF SUFFERING: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 24TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2021

ByOnuh

The joy of suffering in the Christian way of living is total submission to do the will of God. The suffering of a Christian is never a curse, punishment from God. Nor it is due to his sinfulness or as a result of the carelessness of God. God is not stoic or sadist when it comes to our suffering. Instead, our sufferings are proofs of his love, grace and redemption to do his holy will.
