“All those who walk in the Spirit of God
are so
 ns
and daughters of God. Then, no more fear; you did not receive a
spirit of slavery, but the Spirit that makes you sons and daughters
and every time we cry, “Abba! Father!” the Spirit assures our spirit
that we are sons and daughters of God.” (Romans 8:14-16)
-
- In
receiving the sacrament of Baptism, we are welcomed into the Family of
God – we were given the privilege to call God, our Father and Jesus as
our Brother - we become God’s sons and daughters. And because of
that privilege, we can always call the Lord anytime and confide with
Him our deepest sorrows and share our innermost joys.
-
- We in
the Family of God have a special responsibility i.e. to minister to
each and everyone - to impart the love the Lord has implanted in our
hearts. Our own families should be the first ones to feel that love.
I could just imagine how our family of nine children would have been
if not for the Spirit of the Lord who is in my Mom. She may not know
anything about the Holy Spirit but she has dedicated her life in
prayer, kneeling on her knees and lifting us up- one by one to our
Lord Jesus Christ. Now, that I am a mother myself, I realize that
had it not been for her life of prayer, I could have been drawn into a
different way of life – a life so complicated and full of miseries.
-
- We are
fortunate that our parents have brought us to the very foundation of
Christian faith. It is the most important legacy they handed down to
us. Because of their faith in God, we were brought into the salvation
promised by Jesus. As parents, it is our responsibility to continue
this wonderful legacy of handing down the faith. The Word of God
affirms us, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your
household will be saved.” (Acts 16:31)
-
- The
essence of a family is the love and care we have for each other.
Though far from our parents, still the Lord blesses us with very
loving and caring people – people He sent to us to experience family -
our Community, our officemates, our friends…. We are accountable to
those God sends to us.. to share their burdens… to make one’s load
lighter. Prayer is one of the most important means to express our
love and concern. Prayer brings us together, unites us as one. The
following answered prayers are manifestations of joy in being part of
the Family of God, sharing one another’s concern and being united in
prayer. May you be blessed…

Praise and thanksgiving for all the prayers. My
test results were negative of Lupus though the doctors have diagnosed
vasculitis, which can be cured through 4 months of therapy. Praise the
Lord.

I had a quick chat with
my Mom yesterday and got the news that my Dad is recovering very well
from his operation and now back doing his normal activities. Thanks
again for the prayers. God has been so good in answering our prayers.

Thank you for all your
prayers for my Mom and brother. They really had a wonderful time in
Europe witnessing the canonization of Blessed Jose Escriva.
They enjoyed their holiday visiting different kinds of churches and
all went smooth. Praise the Lord.
