JULY 12, 2010- MONDAY

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

PRAYER, WORSHIP, THANKS, AND PRAISE TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OR LORDS.

MEDITATION OF THE DAY:

1 CORINTHIANS 9:22

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak:

I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

POINTS TO CONSIDER:

THIS IS SPOKEN BY ST. PAUL. IT PERTAINS TO HIS ATTITUDE WITH PEOPLE.

IT SHOWS THAT ONE NEEDS TO BE ADAPTABLE IN DEALING WITH PEOPLE.

IN THIS VERSE, THE CONCEPT OF BEING A "ROLE MODEL" IS IMPLIED.

THROUGH LIVING BY GOOD EXAMPLE, THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL COME TO GOD BECAUSE OF GOOD EXAMPLES SHOWN UNTO THEM.

FOR PEOPLE WHO WORKS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD, IT IS NECESSARY TO BE HUMBLE, ADAPTABLE, AND COMPASSIONATE TOWARDS MEN.

SALVATION IS NOT GAINED THROUGH CONTEST OF POWER AND SUPREMACY.

SALVATION CANNOT BE GAINED BY PRIDE AND ARROGANCE.

SALVATION CANNOT BE GAINED BY OPPRESSING THE WEAK AND GAIN DOMINANCE.

SALVATION CANNOT BE GAINED BY RICHES, WEALTH, AUTHORITY AND THE LIKE.

HOW THEN SALVATION IS GAINED? THROUGH FOLLOWING CHRIST JESUS, AND GOD.

THEREFORE, TO FOLLOW CHRIST JESUS, ONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE WHO IS CHRIST, AND WHAT IS THE CORE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST AND FOLLOW THEM.

OTHERS ALSO NEED TO BE SHOWN THE WAY SO THAT THEY MAY FOLLOW BY EXAMPLE. THAT IS WHY THERE IS A NEED FOR THE SERVANTS OF GOD TO SHOW THE WAY FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW.

THROUGH THE WORKINGS OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD, THROUGH THEIR EXAMPLE AND LIFE, THE WAY TO SALVATION IS PAVED FOR SOME TO FOLLOW... IT IS THROUGH EXAMPLE THAT OTHERS MAY FOLLOW, NOT MERELY BY WORDS WITHOUT ANY CREDIBILITY.

MAY GOD BE GLORIFIED THIS DAY AND FOREVER.

THIS DAY, I WAS SHOWN THE ELECTRIC BILL PAID BY THE ADOPTED FAMILIES THROUGH THE MONEY GIVEN TO THEM.

RECEIPT FOR THE PURCHASE OF LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS FOR COOKING PURPOSES ALSO SHOWN TO ME. THIS IS TO BE USED BY THE ADOPTED FAMILIES TO COOK THEIR MEAL.

THE MONEY SPENT TO PAY THESE BILLS ARE FROM THE FUNDS OBTAINED THROUGH THE DONATIONS FROM BOOKS, AND ASSISTANCE OF PEOPLE WHO CARE.

GAVE MONEY FOR THE ADOPTED FAMILIES TO BE DIVIDED AMONGST THEM

GAVE MONEY TO ONE OF THE ADOPTED FAMILIES TO REPAIR THE TIRE OF THE BIKE USED FOR BRINGING THEIR SCHOOLING CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.

ALMS GIVING DONE ALONG THE WAY.

BOUGHT FOOD TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE POOR.

THE FOOD WAS PLACED INTO TWO PLASTIC BAGS FOR EASE OF DISTRIBUTION.

GAVE  MONEY TO ANOTHER MISSIONER IN SUPPORT TO OTHER MISSIONARY WORKS.

WENT TO THE VICINITY OF OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP, BACLARAN

ENTERED THE CHURCH PREMISES.

THEN PROCEEDED TO THE AREA WHERE THE POOR ARE.

DISTRIBUTED FOOD FOR THE POOR.

THE POOR PEOPLE IN THE OLPH SHRINE VICINITY GAVE THEIR THANKS AND WISH THAT THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOOD DISTRIBUTION BE BLESSED AND OBTAINED MERCY FROM GOD.

 THOSE WHO SHARE FOOD TO THE POOR WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD.

GOD WANTS US TO SHARE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY

 

TO SHARE FOOD TO THE NEEDY, AND HELPING THEM TO SURVIVE, IS AN ACT WHICH GLORIFIES GOD, THE ONE WHO CREATED US.

TO DO KINDNESS TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY IS AN ACT WHICH GOD REMEMBERS.

GOD WILL REPAY THOSE WHO GIVES TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

TO DO GOOD TO THE POOR, TO FEED THE HUNGRY, AND SHARE ONE'S BLESSING TO THE LESS FORTUNATE ONES IS AN ACT WHICH SHOWS THAT ONE KNOWS GOD.

THOSE WHO REALLY KNOWS GOD WILL DO WHAT IS GOOD.THOSE WHO DO GOOD DEEDS TO  OUR NEIGHBOR FOR THE SAKE OF GOD WILL MERIT GOD'S BLESSINGS AND PARDON.

HOW DO WE GAIN SALVATION FROM GOD? INCLUDED IN THE MEANS TO ATTAIN SALVATION IS TO PUT INTO ACTION OUR FAITH: GOD WANTS US TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

IF WE ACCEPT GOD'S WORDS IN OUR HEART, WE THEN MUST HELP IN THE MISSIONARY WORKS, THE OUTREACH AND CHARITY WORKS, WHICH IS DIRECTED IN DOING GOD'S WILL THROUGH ASSISTING THE LESS FORTUNATE ONE'S SURVIVE.

HERE IS THE PICTURE OF THE POOR IN OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP SHRINE IN BACLARAN. THERE ARE MANY OF THEM, SPENDING TIME ON THE VICINITY OF THE SHRINE. MANY OF THEM HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.THUS, THEY SPEND TIME IN THE CHURCH GROUNDS.

 AFTER THE OUTREACH IN THIS AREA, LEFT THE CHURCH AREA

 WENT TO ANOTHER PLACE IN BACLARAN.

 GAVE ALMS TO THE POOR

 

BOUGHT SOME FOOD FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE POOR.

 THEN WENT TO ANOTHER AREA FOR OUTREACH

SOMEONE ASKED FOR HELP.

GAVE THEM FOOD.

AFTER THIS, WENT TO ANOTHER AREA FOR OUTREACH.

DISTRIBUTED FOOD FOR THE POOR.

WENT TO LBC TO SEND THIS MEDICATIONS TO SOMEONE IN THE PROVINCE WHO NEEDS IT.

 PAID FOR THE MEDICATION AND THE COST OF DELIVERY.

THEN CONTINUED WITH THE DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD TO THE POOR.

WHEN THE FOOD I AM GIVING IS GONE ALREADY, BOUGHT ANOTHER BATCH OF FOOD FOR DISTRIBUTION.

 THEN DISTRIBUTED FOOD TO THE REMAINING POOR AROUND THE AREA.

TO THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED US TO MAKE THIS OUTREACH A REALITY, THANK YOU. YOUR HELP CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN BY GOD, WHO SEES YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE GIVEN TO US, FOR THE SAKE OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

MAY GOD BLESS THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTED FOR THIS OUTREACH.

MAY GOD FORGIVE THE SINS DONE BY THE PEOPLE WHO HELP SUPPORT THIS OUTREACH, ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE WILL OF GOD.

AFTER DISTRIBUTING FOOD TO THE POOR, CONTINUED OUR CHARITY WORKS THROUGH GIVING OF ALMS.

THANK YOU TO GOD, WHO GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE OTHERS.

THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTS OUR MISSIONARY WORKS.

YOUR ASSISTANCE IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP, WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO GOD'S WILL AND SERVE THE LESS FORTUNATE ONES.

AFTER THE ALMS GIVING, WENT HOME, THANKING AND PRAISING GOD.

PRAYING FOR OUR DONORS, WHO HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE OUR MISSIONARY WORKS FOR GOD. THROUGH TO YOUR HELP, MANY HUNGRY WERE FED, MANY STREET CHILDREN WERE ASSISTED EVEN FOR THIS DAY TO SURVIVE, AND SOME INDIGENT FAMILIES ARE HELPED. TO SURVIVE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND FORGIVE YOU, FOR SHOWING MERCY AND COMPASSION TO THE POOR AND NEEDY.  MAY GOD HELP YOU IN YOUR KIND UNDERTAKINGS, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR HELP RENDERED TO US, FOR THE SAKE OF THE CONTINUANCE OF THE MISSIONARY WORKS, THE OUTREACH, AND THE CHARITY WORKS DONE FOR GOD, IN THE SERVICE OF OUR FELLOW MEN, ESPECIALLY THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

THANKING GOD ABOVE ALL, FOR MAKING ALL GOOD THINGS POSSIBLE.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
