Psalm 60
The real help comes from God alone.
When a situation seems out of control, we can
trust od to do mighty things.
60:6-12
God has spoken from his sanctuary;
"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseth is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss
my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triump.
Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?
Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.
With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.
Reflections:
When the world seems out of control, we must remind ourselves that God owns the cities and knows the
futute of every nation. God is in control. In and through him we will gain the victory.
This happens to all of us, we thought we are doing well, because we go to church everyday,
we recite the rosary everytime we are not doing anything, but we forget one thing; we have to help others, as
well as help our physical and our spiritual fitness to be able continue what God likes us to do.
Don't be blameful, why did you do that? Why Why and just upset others.
Say one "Our Father and Hail Mary" for our own intentions and the healing intentions of this prayers.
Have a nice day,
Deacon Gary

Psalm 50 -- from the Prayer Desk of Rev. Deacon Gary

Today is Tuesday 12th of January 2010.
Psalm 50
In this psalm the contrast is between true
and false faith. God desires for sincere thanks,
trust and praise.
50-21,22,23
These things you have done and kept silent,
you thought I was altogether like you.
But I will rebuke you and accuse you
to your face.
Consider this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue;
He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
and he prepares the way so that
I may show him the salvation of God.
Reflections:
At times God seems silent. By his silence he is not condoning sinfulness, nor is he indifferent to it. Instead,
he is withholding deserved calamities, giving time for people to remember and appreciate, the magnificent
manifestation of God.
What is happening with the Filipino people in the Philippines, we have a lot of backfighting and killing for
political reason. When I was growing in the Philippines we were so honest that my parents would leave our
door open. We know our neighbors and we talk with them about family values. This goes on night after
night. However a big change suddenly occur. Education made people self conscious, ambitious in a wrong
direction and now we have all natural disaster occuring.
What could be the message from God? Please reply?
Say one "Our Father and Hail Mary" for our own intentions and for the healing intentions of my prayers.
Have a nice day.
