DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY OCTOBER 20 , 2015

Reading the Liturgy Tuesday, October 20, 2015

First Reading Romans 5: 12,15b, 17-19,20b-21.
Brothers, sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. If due to a violation of the one man had fallen in the power of death, how much more did God's grace and the gift of His grace over all the one man, Jesus Christ. For if by the sin of one man, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore, just as by the offense everyone hath the judgment, so also through one act of righteousness everyone hath justification for living.
So just as one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also through one man's obedience many will be made righteous.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,
 So that just as sin reigned in death, so grace will reign in righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Psalm, Ps 40.7 to 10.17
God, I come to do your will.
"You are not pleased with sacrifices and offerings, but you have opened my ears; burnt offering and sin offering thou not demanded. Then I said: "Really, I come;
"In the scroll of the book it is written of me; I like to do thy will, O my God; Your law is in my chest. "I am announcing justice in the great assembly; not even I held my lips, you also know, O Lord.
 "Let rejoice because of you all who seek you; let those who love thy salvation say continually, "The Lord is great!"

Gospel reading Luke 12: 35-38
Jesus said to his disciples his disciples: "Let your loins remains bonded and fixed your lamps burning. And be ye like men who wait for their master returning from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks the door, quickly opened the door for him.
Blessed are the servants who found his master on guard when it comes. I tell you the truth, he would bind her waist and let them sit down to eat, and he will come to serve them. And when he comes at midnight or at dawn and found them to be valid so, then blessed them.
Thus the Gospel of the Lord.

Afterthought.
Every day I was always busy, Since waking up, getting ready to go to work, spend a lot of energy and time at work, come home, eat, to keep the children while resting, That's my routine everyday, sometimes, do not feel the time pass, routine makes me not able to see the development and growth in myself and family. There saatsaya feel bored with everyday life are always the same, without my knowing, no gratitude from my mouth, doapun be bland.
It turns me less just in case, lack of prayer, less sociable with his word, and less aware of his grace that continues to exist for me.Will easy to consistently just in case because of my weaknesses and limitations.
But God wanted me to be on guard, continue to pray and continue to be a light for others, so I learned to always remind yourself to take the time Air - a relationship with God and a blessing to my family and others. Every morning I pray and invoke blessings upon my family. From there I also struggled to keep vigil - guard in the presence of God in this life. Thus, I hope can be bright wherever I am and always in His presence.

Items to contemplation.
What do I do to remain on guard and into the light? Through fun events that we are invited to repent and be grateful, through the unpleasant events, we are invited also to repent to realize our mistakes and improve the lives which have been less pleasing to God. The time that God has given us an opportunity to always self-correct and cautious so that our lives more pleasing to God and others. In time we will be called "blessed".

Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, you have loved us first and give your life for us. May we be alert and keep vigil serve thee in our lives now and forever. Amen.
