La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Gladys from the Parish of Saint Gabriel in the Diocese of Bandung, Indonesia. Romans 13: 8-10; Rs psalm 112: 1-2.4-5.9; Luke 14: 25-33.THE SUPREME LAWIS LOVE Our meditation today is entitled: The Supreme Law isLove. Since the time of the inauguration, the President, Vice President and theministers have really played the role of being public figures, public servants,and role models for all citizens. Their words and actions are seen by everyone.Leaders at the local levels and in private institutions also make an oath to begood servants and examples for many people. In short, they inevitably have to live in the spiritof love. The universal criterion of law is love, which is the commander inchief in the system of manners, customs and positive laws in the life ofcitizens. To be honest, the democratic system and the administration of thestate anywhere in the world, choose to be oriented towards love, if we want thecountry to be safe, just, peaceful, and prosperous for every citizen. Even the largest modern democracy like America is indire need of love. They are tired of all the political phenomena and turmoil,especially because of the actions of their leaders. Not only the United States,many countries are also facing a crisis of public trust in their leaders. Ifthere is love, then the messages and actions they convey will certainly producea sense of peace and comfort in society. Because of that love, things that deal with justiceare given a path so that justice is realized. Those related to a sense ofcomfort and security are given space to grow. If peace is sought, attention toit is optimized. Likewise, tolerance and solidarity in diversity continue to beencouraged and we need to work hard to bring it about. Love can enter all areas of life, influence it, andthen animate everything. That means love is present in all and reigns over all.Saint Paul says in the first reading that love is the fulness of the law. OnlyGod can do all of this. So, love is God Himself. He is above all forms ofrules, norms and laws that govern all the steps of our lives. The Lord Jesus advises us today that, in situationswhere conflict occurs because of existing differences, the best way is toabandon or detach ourselves from the egos of each other that tend to sharpenconflict. We must rise to a higher level, that is, God's own love is the mainreference. Only then can we find solutions for our lives.Let us pray. In the name of the Father... God the Father inheaven, save us from all situations of conflict and opposition only by gettingrid of every very strong self-interest, so that we can live together in thespirit of Your love. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of the Father...

Delivered by Joanna from the Parish of Saint Gabriel in the Diocese of Bandung, Indoensia. Romans 7: 18-25a; Rs psalm 119: 66.68.76.77.93.94; Luke 12: 54-59.TIME TESTS The title for ourmeditation today is: Time Tests. We say this "time tests" to signifythe time that serves to make sure if one's life is pleasing to God or viceversa. There was a family experiencing a crisis in their economy up to thepoint of the lowest situation that forced the husband, wife and their twochildren must reflect, evaluate themselves to find a way out. When times oftrials or difficulties and suffering come, they lead us to see that time istesting us. These are the examples of lessons that can teach us and call ourattention, and we must see this as the moment to change. Saint Paul sees thereis a sign of time that people in Rome and all of us today face, about honor andworship of the body that is inevitable in this world. Worldly life orientationlike this will torture the dynamism of people's mind and soul toward God. So theapostle Paul wanted that he himself must terminate all allurements of his ownbody, so that his mind and soul would justfocus on God. Worship and enjoymentof the body are commonly done today in the life of today's society. This commonstyle manifests itself in materialism and the gratification of lust. We canshow several examples here. There was a student misused his parents' money for hisstudy, but only for eating, drinking, traveling and having fun with hisfriends. A housewife spent money of the family not for needs of the house butonly for personal pleasure and enjoyment. They represent the various human actssatisfy their bodily needs. Our era of materialism and hedonism today alreadymakes everything so easy for us to acquire any time when we need to fulfill theneed of our bodies. However, we must saythe truth that our bodies have been consecrated by divine election to be thesons and daughters of the heavenly Father. God choose to stay in our bodies. Leus not waste our energies and times making our own bodies the desecrateddwelling places to God to dwell. We need to take care and keep purifying ourown bodies, because in a healthy and worthy body, there is a soul that isradiant and open to God. Saint Paul asks us not to spoil our bodies with anykind of pleasures of the world. We must maintain responsibly its purity becauseGod choose to live in it. Let our attentionshould not be excessive to the body, to the extent that the soul is abandoned.Jesus asks that our souls must be given more attention, because the soul willstand before the final judgment to give the person's life account. When humansouls are free from world preoccupations and pleasures, a human person is freeand happy to go to God. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O God almighty, come and dwell within us always, so that our hearts alwaysexperience joy and peace. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the HolySpirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 29, is the feast day of the three Archangels named in Sacred Scripture, all with key roles in the history of salvation: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.Saint Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels, who cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits into Hell when they rebelled against God. His name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?". He is mentioned four times in the Bible, in Daniel 10 and 12, in the letter of Jude, and in Revelation.In 1899, Pope Leo XIII, having had a prophetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, instituted a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass.Christian tradition recognizes four offices of Saint Michael: (i) to fight against Satan, (ii) to rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. (iii) to be the champion of God's people, (iv) to call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment."I am Gabriel, who stands before God." (Luke 1, 19)Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," announced the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias. He also appeared to St. Joseph and to the shepherds, and "strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane."I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tob 12:15)Saint Raphael means "God has healed" because of his healing of Tobias' blindness in the Book of Tobit. His office is to be that of healing and acts of mercy.Raphael is also identified with the angel in John 5:1-4 who descended upon the pond and bestowed healing powers.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!
