TI Sunday Scripture - Reflection for October 13, 2024

​Scripture Reflection: October 13, 2024 - Twenty- Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Wis 7:7-11
Heb 4:12-13
Mk 10:17-27

Becoming a follower of Jesus is difficult. Every day to live out as one is challenging. So we are called to pray for the gift of wisdom. To allow us to understand the Scriptures and the commandments. Sometimes these words are a blur to us. How should we live out our lives in accordance to the Will of God? While at the same time trying to be as human as possible. We pray and discern so that our eyes and hearts may be opened. And this is beautifully experienced during our communion with Jesus during the Holy Eucharist. Each mass is an opportunity for us to allow Jesus to touch and embrace us - our sinfulness, longings, questions, doubts and physical hardships - we can offer everything up to Him. And when you receive the gift of this Union - Jesus is telling me, it’s okay. You will be with me one day in my paradise.

​Here is a photo I captured last Sept 23 at 5:35am from our balcony. I was so amazed at how the sunrise can be so beautiful. But for some or most people nowadays - it’s nothing but ordinary. I am grateful that I still have the feeling of awe within me. Because everyday is indeed an awesome gift. Marge Catajay, Manila, Philippines
