“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Proverbs 3:6

#SugboanongSimbahan

[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu @sugbosimbahan]

There is wisdom in everything that happens—even in God’s silence. God never sits idly. He is always at work, whether or not we see it. God’s presence in our lives isn’t based on our feelings but on his faithfulness.

In every season of life, ask, "What is God teaching me?”

[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu @sugbosimbahan]

If Jesus were to come today, we too would tremble in fear and plead with Him to spare us, just as the demons did in today’s Gospel.
Hell is indeed to be feared, but more than this, an authentic Christian fears being separated from God.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Revelation 21:4

[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu @sugbosimbahan]

Jesus’ inclusivity is not equal to tolerance. When He called and welcomed the sinners and the outcast, he led them to repentance and to a restored life.

This is also God’s invitation to us today: to run to Him, whose arms are wide open and whose love heals and never runs cold.

“A joyful heart brightens one’s face, but a troubled heart breaks the spirit.”
