MARCH 13, 2015- FRIDAY

TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.

OFFERING TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, OUR MISSION WORKS.

RECEIVED THE OFFERINGS OF OUR BRETHREN FROM THE WEST.

RECEIVED P2,500.

ADDING TO THIS THE P500 FROM YESTERDAY'S FUNDS.

THANKING OUR BRETHREN WHO HAVE BEEN HELPING US IN OUR MISSION WORKS.

WHEN WE SUPPORT OUR MISSION WORKS, IT IS OUR ACT OF WORSHIP, PRAYER, SUPPLICATIONS AND THANKSGIVING ALL IN ONE.

DOING THE WILL OF GOD IS CONCRETE PRAYER IN WORKS.

DOING THESE MISSION WORKS TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY IS GOD'S WILL.

FOR WE CANNOT LOVE GOD WHOM WE DO NOT SEE IF WE CANNOT CONCRETELY LOVE THOSE WHOM WE SEE.

THE POOR AND THE NEEDY ARE THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN.

IF WE BELIEVE HUMAN BEINGS ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, WHAT KIND OF LOVE DO WE HAVE FOR GOD IF WE NEGLECT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

SUCH IS NOT LOVE FOR GOD, BUT SELF-GRATIFICATION.

WE CANNOT LOVE GOD WITHOUT LOVING OUR BRETHREN- TAKE NOTE OF THIS TEACHING.

OFFERED TO GOD THE FUNDS WE HAVE RECEIVED TODAY THROUGH OUR MISSION WORKS.

GAVE ASSISTANCE TO POOR FAMILIES- AND PART OF THIS ASSISTANCE COVERS LIVELIHOOD ASSISTANCE.

 DISTRIBUTED HELP TO THE POOR, INCLUDING POOR STUDENTS.

 GAVE HELP TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 THE HELP WE GIVE TO THEM MATTERS BETWEEN HAVING A MEAL THIS DAY OR NOT.

 TO OTHERS, HELP TO THEM IS ONLY A TRIVIAL MATTER.
FOR THEM, IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT.

 WHEN WE SEE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY EVERYDAY, REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS LIKE US.

 REMEMBER THAT GOD CREATED HUMAN BEINGS INTO THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD- BUT WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT DOES THIS WORLD GIVE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY LOVE GOD.

BUT THEY CANNOT LOVE THE POOR, THE NEEDY, THE UNDERPRIVILEGED, AND THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING AND DEPRIVED.

HOW CAN YOU CLAIM THAT YOU LOVE GOD THAT WE DO NOT SEE, WHEN WE CANNOT LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO WE SEE?

 WHEN WE JUDGE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, THINK OF THIS:
IF YOU ARE IN THE SITUATION OF BEING POOR AND NEEDY, WHAT WILL YOU DO?
HOW WILL YOU FEEL?

 HOW WILL YOU FEEL IF YOUR LOVE ONES ARE BEGGING ON THE STREETS TO SURVIVE THE DAY? 

 HOW WILL YOU FEEL IF YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TO BEG ON THE STREETS BECAUSE ALL YOU HAVE DONE WITHIN YOUR POWER IS NOT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN YOUR FAMILY?

 HOW WILL YOU FEEL IF YOU SEE YOUR LOVE ONES EATING FOOD FROM GARBAGE JUST TO SURVIVE?

 HOW WILL YOU FEEL IF YOU BARELY EAT THE WHOLE DAY, AND YOUR CHILDREN SUFFER FROM HUNGER AND THIRST?

 HOW WILL YOU FEEL IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE STREETS YOUR HOME TO SURVIVE?

 IF WE LOVE GOD, IT IS INEVITABLE TO CARE FOR THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 IF WE NEGLECT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, WE NEGLECT OUR LOVE FOR GOD, AND GOD WILL REMEMBER YOUR NEGLECT.

 REMEMBER THIS: WHATEVER WE DO TO THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN, WE DO TO GOD.

 HOW MANY TIMES DID WE SIN IN NEGLECTING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

 HOW MANY TIMES DID WE IGNORE THEM, DO NOT BOTHER WITH THEM, AND EVEN CURSE THEM?

 HOW MANY TIMES DO WE ONLY THINK OF OURSELVES RATHER THAN CONSIDERING THE NEEDS OF OTHERS?

 HOW MANY TIMES WE SAY THAT WE LOVE GOD BUT DEPRIVE HELP TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY?

 WHAT KIND OF LOVE FOR GOD WE HAVE IF WE DO NOT PRACTICE COMPASSION AND MERCY IN CONCRETE TERMS?

 WHATEVER WE DO TO THEM, WE DO TO GOD.

HOW MANY TIMES WE SINNED AGAINST GOD BECAUSE WE FAIL IN DOING WHAT WE CAN IN OUR POWER TO HELP THE POOR?

 HOW MANY TIMES YOU SEE THIS EVIL, THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY ARE GODLY, BUT TREAT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY LIKE GARBAGE?

 WHAT KIND OF LOVE FOR GOD WE HAVE WHEN WE DEPRIVE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY OF SUSTENANCE JUST TO ENRICH OURSELVES?

 WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEINGS WE ARE WHEN WE HAVE NO COMPASSION AND MERCY FOR OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS?

 WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE WE ARE WHEN WE CLAIM TO LOVE GOD BUT NEGLECT HELPING THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN?

 IF WE FAIL TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR RESOURCES, WE NEGLECT ON DOING THIS COMMANDMENT: LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

 LOVE FOR OTHERS IS CONCRETE WHEN WE CAN EXPRESS OUR LOVE IN CONCRETE TERMS TO THOSE WHO CAN DO NOTHING FOR US IN RETURN.

THUS, IN HELPING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, WE GAIN NOTHING IN RETURN.

BUT WE DO THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD- WHICH LOVE OF OTHERS IS NEEDED TO BE PRACTICED BEFORE THIS CAN BE FULFILLED.

 REMEMBER THAT NO ONE CAN TRULY LOVE GOD WITHOUT LOVING OTHERS.

HOW CAN YOU LOVE GOD THAT YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN YOU DO NOT LOVE THOSE WHOM YOU SEE?

 REMEMBER GOD WHEN YOU SEE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 REMEMBER THAT THE POOR AND THE NEEDY ARE HUMAN BEINGS LIKE US.

 REMEMBER GOD IN OUR SERVICES AND MISSION WORKS TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 REMEMBER THAT IT IS GOD WHO ORDERED THAT WE FULFILL SUCH MISSION WORKS- TO HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY- BECAUSE OF LOVE.

 DISTRIBUTING FOOD TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 WHEN WE FEED THE POOR AND THE NEEDY, WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE GOD.

 REMEMBER THE TIMES YOU BECAME HUNGRY.

THEN THINK OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDY WHO HUNGER EVERYDAY.

 THINK OF THE TIMES YOU WERE DEPRIVED.

THINK OF THE POOR AND THE NEEDY WHO ARE DEPRIVED EVERYDAY.

 COMPASSION AND MERCY IS USELESS WITHOUT CONCRETE ACTIONS.

THE LOVE OF GOD IS ONLY PRESENT WHEN WE EXPRESS LOVE FOR OUR FELLOWMEN IN CONCRETE ACTIONS.

 WHATEVER WE DO TO THE POOR AND THE  NEEDY, WE DO TO GOD- REMEMBER THAT.

 IF YOU LOVE GOD, HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY- EVEN JUST A LITTLE.

 REMEMBER GOD WHEN WE DO OUR MISSION WORKS TO HELP THE LEAST OF OUR BRETHREN.

 REMEMBER GOD WHEN WE DO OUR MISSION WORKS TO SERVE THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

 REMEMBER GOD AS WE DO THESE MISSION WORKS.

 BE REMINDED OF THE LOVE OF GOD WHEN WE DO OUR MISSION WORKS. 

 WE CANNOT DO AWAY WITH HELPING THE POOR AND THE NEEDY IF WE WALK IN THE PATH TOWARDS GOD.

 GIVING FOOD PROVISIONS TO POOR FAMILIES.

TO THE GOD OF GODS, WE OFFER THESE MISSION WORKS.

TO THE GOD OF GODS, LORD OF LORDS, BE THE HONOR AND GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
