Prayer Reflections Week XXIX (Oct. 28-Nov.3, 2013)

Day 7: "all that He created was good. If He did not love them, they wouldn't exist."-wisdom 11: 25-26.

• God is a Lover of Life. He values all that lives and prices life above all possessions, it's dignity over human glory. How do you price your life today? What gives people value? Looking at Him on the cross again, we find the expression of Love that gives the most profound value to our lives. -vd prayer buddies

Day 6: 'Your gain is a life fully dedicated to him and the result is eternal life' Rom. 6:22

• The life of the saints lead us to see the goal of our life. ETERNITY. And we share it with them. Let us leave every minute of our life with that intensity,giving to each moment the extraordinary meaning that faith can give. -vd prayer buddies 

Day 4: The forms and tasks of life are many but holiness is one that sanctify which is cultivated by all who act under God's Spirit and obeying the Father's voice and adoring God the Father in spirit and truth, follow Christ, poor humble and cross-bearing, that they may deserve to be partakers of His glory. (Lumen Gentium, 41)

• In our sufferings, we are enjoying the grace within us who is jesus.  we are  given an opportunity to be christ  which leads us to heaven. Let us embrace sufferings, let us embrace jesus. VD prayer buddies

Day 3: Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God. Rev. 7:2-4

• We are all sealed by the holy spirit. Yet our life can still face temptations. Today, let us not be complacent. Be vigilant. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus so we may not fall. Dont waste your life, for you are destined to be in heaven. Let Jesus be our strength in all temptations we face. - VD Prayer Buddies

Day 2: 1 Pet 1:16. The Scriptures says, "Be holy because I am holy."

• What is holiness for you? Is it something impossible? Holiness is making our mind and heart aligned with that of Christ in order to live with him and be like him. It is to love like Christ and his love is characterized by the giving of himself for our sake. To give oneself, to suffer for Christ is then a privilege to become holy. Therefore, let us welcome the sufferings of this day for they are paths to sanctity. VD Prayer Buddies.

Day 1: Brothers and sisters:
You are no longer strangers and sojourners,
but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones
and members of the household of God,
built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone. (Eph. 2:19-22 )

• how beautiful indeed to digest and recognize our origin and foundation, may we continue to put into practice what we learned from Jesus in our daily prayer. As we vote today, think of our brothers and sisters who will most benefit from the vote that we cast. - VD Prayer Buddies
