“Do you agape me?”
In Greek (which is the language of the New Testament), there are four words to describe the word ‘love’. They are: eros (sexual love), philio (love between friends), storge (love between family members) and agape (unconditional love).

Reflection
Acts 6:1-7, John 6:16-21

“Mantra of our lives: It is I. Do not be afraid”
Weren’t there moments when we felt that God seemed to be so far away from our life? Weren’t there times when we felt frightened as we battled with the storms in our lives?

“It is I. Do not be afraid.”

3rd May 2019 Friday 2nd Week of Easter - Ss. Philip and James

Reflection

1 Corinthians 15:1-8, John 14:6-14

“To aim high with Jesus”
Today, as we celebrate the feast day of St. Philip and James, let us listen to Jesus as He tells us, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” We are all fragile sinners, yet we are all called to holiness. Holiness is not perfectionism. Holiness is to be like Christ, who is fullness of love. Each day, we are called to follow Jesus faithfully because He is the way to show us the narrow path of love that we must walk. We are called to root ourselves in the truth that is God’s love. We are called to embrace the fullness of life that Jesus brings to us. Only He can lead us to be ‘infected by the holiness of God’.

Let us aim high with Jesus!
