Today is Tuesday 1st of December 2009.
Sirach 40, 41, 42.
40:11.12.13.14 All that is of earth returns to earth, and what is from above returns above. All that comes from
bribes or injustice will be wipe out, but loyalty remains for ages. Wealth out of wickedness is like a wadi in
spate: like mighty stream with lightning and thunder, Which in its rising, rolls along the stones, but suddenly,
once and for all, comes to an end.
Reflections: This pertains to the mortality of our body, and eventually we have to face the justice of God. The
righteous always survive.
41:11.12.13 Man's body is a fleeting thing, but a virtuous name will never be annihilated. Have a care for
your name, for it will stand by you better than precious treasures in the thousands; the boon of life is for
limited days, but a good name, for days without number.
Reflections: We always remember the heroes of the past, and the present, because they are our role model.
42:21.22.23 Perennial is his almighty wisdom; he is from all eternity one and the same,With nothing added,
nothing taking away; no need of a counselor for him. How beautiful are all his work ! even to the spark and
fleeting vision.
Reflections: Lets contemplates on God's power, beauty, and goodness as manifested by his mighty work of
creating and preserving the universe.
Please reflect on any of the above from your own experience. Click reply.

Psalm 93 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary

Today is Sunday 29th of November 2009.
"Primitive Religion or Primitive Spirituality"
Much of our knowledge about prehistoric peoples comes from their burials places. Our ancestors were
interred with tools, food, and weapons...which could only have been intended for use in the next existence.
No other species of animals exhibited such human behaviors and this distinguishes us from other form of
life which is also the ability to use a language that describe ideas, such as time and space. They also
explore concepts that gives logical meaning and purpose. This has been the important characteristic
human species.
The Aboriginal societies of Australia, even that of the Philippines, (Aetas) dated more than
40,000 years.
Aborigine of Australia believe that they came from a mysterious beings, half human and half animal, with
superior intelligence and power, that made appearances from beneath the earth or from the distant horizon,
like from the sky they called sky-being. Knowledge of this
super ordinary powers was transmitted in an oral traditions from generations to generations, bringing with
them the myths and rituals under the guidance of medicine man or shaman.
The nature of the myths provide the reason for social and moral conduct of the village people.
To be continued.
Antiphon
To you, Lord, be highest glory and praise
forever, alleluia.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, Good Morning!
To prepare ourselves for our journey today, lets call to mind our sins, and ask God for forgiveness, for he is
full of gentleness and compassion.
Lord have mercy....................Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.......................Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy....................Lord have mercy.
May the good Lord, have mercy on us, forgive our sins and lead us to life everlasting, Amen
Psalm 93
The Lord is king, with majesty enrobed;
the Lord has robed himself with might,
he has girded himself with power.
Psalm prayer:
All power and all authority in heaven and on earth have been given to you, Lord Jesus; you rule with decrees
that are firm and trustworthy. Be with us always so that we may make disciples whose holiness will be
worthy of your house. Amen.
Almighty Father, remember all those brothers, sisters and relatives of our who have died and have gone
before us, look not on their mistakes on earth, but look at the goodness of their hearts. Bring them all to
eternal rest and let the perpetual light shine upon them. May they all rest in peace. Amen.
Lord Jesus, have mercy and be compassionate to all those suffering from known malady.
Bring them all to wholeness of body and spirit. Relieve their fears, pains anxieties and even depression,
through the powerful intercession of venerable Pope John Paul II, Saint Padre Pio and Our Lady of the
Barangay for whom we pray, Amen.
Holy Spirit giver of life, power and wisdom, be our guide and guard us from harm, Amen.
Theotokos, pray for us and all who call on thee, Amen.
Reflections:
Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36
Once more Jesus talk about end time. When this signs appears in the sky, and on earth, we know he is
coming. The best way to welcome Jesus, is do not wait for those signs in the sky or on earth, anticipate on
his coming anytime, by making our heart and our conscience clear of injustices, forgiving of the mistakes of
others, and welcome Jesus with open arms. For he is entering and welcoming us to life everlasting.
Say one "Our Father and Hail Mary" for our own intentions and the healing intentions of this prayers.
Enjoy your day, don't spend much money.
Deacon Gary.
