Thanks be to God for His amazing grace! He gave us a Deliverer to save us from our sins and the penalty thereof, through the sacrificial offering of His Son as the perfect Lamb of God. How deep and wide is His love for humanity, whom He created in His image and likeness. Such love cannot be measured; it's boundless and free. If you don't know Him, His arms are open wide. Come as you are. "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost! Amen.

One Minute Reflection – 6 July  

Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man, one will dare even to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us………..Romans 5:7-8

REFLECTION – “The new commandment, “Love one another as I have loved you” (Jn 15:12), urges us to pattern our love on the example of Jesus, who dies that we may live. If our ability to love in a divine way seems unfairly offset by an impossible ideal—in other words, that Jesus can love like God because He is God but we can’t—then we have to reckon with the violent, yet highly avoidable death of an eleven-year-old girl.   When you find a mere human being, loving as God loves by dying as God dies and forgiving as God forgives, you encounter someone who understands not only the force of the new commandment – but also of the extent of the self-sacrifice involved in loving like Jesus.”………Fr John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.

PRAYER – Lord God, You alone can give the grace of innocence and love.   By Your grace, St Maria Goretti, though as yet but a young child, was able to offer herself in death for Your sake.    As You crowned her virginity with martyrdom, grant us, by her intercession, constancy in Your love.   We make our prayer through Christ our Lord, in union with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever – St Maria pray for us!, amen.

God’s love isn’t based on your performance. It’s based on His character and He already proved it.

The cross is forever proof :

God loves you more than you’ll ever understand.

Whom to Please. I confess that I was a people pleaser before I met Christ, for I have thought that the idea of pleasing everyone will give me a peaceful and good environment to live, work and enjoy life. Until the day I finally get tired. I said to my self, I'm tired of being kind for everyone takes advantage of me. And next is, I do not want to be kind. And just I have thought, everyone, no single person truly cares for me, to person who is not kind at all. For everyone judge me for the unkindness that I have done. Now, I thank God, for He let me feel that I am loved not because of what I have done (Romans 5:8). And also for correcting my thoughts and ideas. Amen

Agape. Love without buts. Love that will last forever. Love that conquers all. Love to the highest form. (Read Romans 5:8) But God demonstrates his own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
