It is a tragedy when you refuse to come to God's banquet

What's the final measure of your life? Do not be anxious

What's important is what we do, not what we say

(Deacon Roland) Jesus personally invite us to worship Him. We need to personally invite people to come to church and follow in Jesus' footsteps.

Forgiveness - it is important to forgive others because we ourselves are forgiven.

We have been baptized in Christ. It is our responsibility to go forward and proclaim the Lord and to follow in God's footsteps. It is our responsibility to tell others when they are going against God or are wrong but we should not judge.

How do you serve God in your daily lives?

Christ asks: "Who do you say that I am?"

(Deacon Roland) Why doesn't Jesus answer me, why does He ignore me?

We are not meant to live alone; we need to ask Christ for help to weather the storms of life. It is ok to ask for help. We need the help of God and others in order to succeed in life. We need to turn to God to ask for strength and help when we need it and we need to help others when they need it.

God is always with us through our ups and downs. He is reliable and will not abandon us. We need to have trust in God.

(Guest missionary) Christ speaks of the preciousness of the Kingdom. The work of the congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in Asia.

In helping to grow the Kingdom of God, we must ask ourselves : where we are we producing good wheat in our lives? Where are we producing bad weeds in our lives?

Christ promises to carry the burdens of life with us

As disciples, we must do more than avoid sinning. We must make the Kingdom of God present where we are.

Do we know how precious each one of us is to God?

(Deacon Roland) Why do we go to Mass?

God the Father created everything out of love. God the Son redeems everything out of love. God the Holy Spirit enlivens everything out of love.

The Holy Spirit is encircling us, enveloping us - making our efforts, with His power, into something beautiful!

Being a Christian is not just about what we believe, it is what we do. It is to do what Jesus did!
