STAND STRONG

Monday of the Tent Week in Ordinary Time Year C John 19:25-27 The gospel of today depicts Mary standing at the foot of the cross watching her son die a horrible death. At time, like these women mentioned in today’s gospel we also found ourselves standing at the foot of the cross. Friends, stand at the cross of Jesus and bring to mind these situation of terrible sufferings like war, family troubles, situation of hunger and etc. Let us entrust to Jesus our worries and pains. We surrender to Him our discomforts. Even at the point of death the heart of Jesus is open to those who suffer. He is dying but He remain concern to his mother and to his disciples. Jesus asked Mary and John to care each other. What I loved most in today’s reading is the last line that says: “And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.” Home is where care is. Caring each other makes our home sweet. Friends, the greatest thing we can do nowadays is to take care each other. Even if you are angry, do not forget to take care of those who makes you upset. Even if you have your own worries, do not neglect the worries of others. Let us not abandon each other. Together is a beautiful place to be. Blessings Fr. Jhack
