Luke 6: 41-42

Date posted: September 11, 2020

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy Presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Luke 6: 41-42
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your
own? How can you say to your brother, “Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,” when you
do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam
from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.”

Reflection
Sometimes, it becomes easier for us to point out the mistakes of others rather than to see our own
flaws. It becomes hard for us to accept our failures and deficiencies because we don’t want to be
blamed by others. But Jesus is telling us to be brave enough to accept the consequences of our
choices, so that we can also teach others to become better servants of God. In what way you
consider yourself as your brother’s keeper?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
As stated in the LGP, the spirit of faith allows one to discover God’s active presence in His Word, in
men and women, in the poor, in nature, in history, and in ourselves. As Lasallians, we are challenged
to reflect on how God works in our lives and be able to realize how blessed we are to have a God
who loves us unconditionally. Let us be agents of God’s abiding love and presence to all especially
to the lost, the last and the least.

Oratio Imperata Against the COVID-19
God our Father, we come to You in our need to ask Your protection
against the COVID-19 that has disturbed us and claimed many lives.
We pray that You guide the people tasked
to find cure for this disease and to stem its transmission.
Protect the medical experts and healthcare personnel
that they may minister to the sick with competence and compassion.
We pray for those afflicted, may they be restored to health soon.
Protect those who care for them.
Grant eternal rest to those who have died.
Give us grace in this trying time to work for the good of all and to help those in need.
We implore You to stop the spread of this virus and to save us from our fears.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son
who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever. Amen.
Our Lady of the Star, pray for us!
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us!
St. Miguel Febres Cordero, pray for us!
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
