Salvation Theology
When we talk about salvation we always have in
mind, Jesus Christ, who came to save us from
our sins. That is the spiritual side of salvation.
The material physical side of
salvation pertain to our world. How can we
save our good earth from the exploitation of
man?
Reflections:
Exploration and exploitation of our good earth continues ceaselessly, the earth under, water beneath and the
sky above. With advancement of science and technology, men develop weapon of mass destruction, be it
chemical, radioactive elements, or destruction through
atomic explosion, and dissemination of deadly radiations all over the earth, is something to think about.
Then I would believe that we must start thinking of how we could save our good earth and the people within
from such ...approaching end time.
I believe we must concentrate on recognizing one another as friends and relatives living together peacefully.
As St Paul said, Love is patience, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not
rude, it does not seek its own interest, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not
rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things. In short Love never fails.
What is your reflection? On our Earth and Universal Salvation? Please reply.
Antiphon
Go out to all the world, and tell the
good news: I am with you always say
the Lord. Mark 16:15
My brothers and sisters in Christ, Good Morning !
To prepare ourselves for today's journey, 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 108
I will thank you, Lord, among the peoples,
among the nations I will praise you,
for your love reaches to the heavens
and your truth to the skies,
O God, arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth.
Psalm prayer
Accept the prayers of your servants, Lord, and prepare our hearts to praise your holy name. Come to our aid
in times of trouble, and make us worthy to sing you songs of thanksgiving. Amen.
Almighty Father, remember those who have died, especially N & N, look not on their mistakes on earth but
on the goodness of their hearts. Bring them all to your presence, light, happiness and peace, Amen.
Lord Jesus, we ask you healing compassion's on all our relatives and friends esp Estelle Levinson, who are
suffering from known ailments. Touch them with your comforting hand, relieve their fears, pains and
anxieties as we pray for their recovery according to your will. Amen.
Holy Spirit giver of life, power, and wisdom, be our guide and guard us from harm,
Theotokos, pray for us and all who call on thee. Amen.
Reflections:
2 Samuel 24:12-14
God gave David three choices for punishment, disease, famine, and war. David wisely chose the
punishment that came directly from God. He knew how brutal men could be, and he also knew God's great
mercy. When we sin greatly, let go back to God. His punishment is better than war, for he is full of mercy
and love. Here we have the ..."Can you identify the "Theology Salvation," in this story? please reply.
