Matthew 12:14-18

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.

 Matthew 12:14-18
The Pharisees went out and conspired against Jesus, how to destroy him. When Jesus became aware of
this, he departed. Many crowds followed him, and he cured all of them, and he ordered them not to make him known. This was to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased.”

Reflection
The gospel tells us that despite life’s adversities, we must strengthen our faith in God. We shouldn’t let others bring us down or oppress us, but rather, we should always seek God’s guidance and strength to complete our lives and heal us from our sins. During the pandemic, how do we see God in our life?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “Lasallian educational experiences are dynamic processes that impel learners to translate their knowledge into actual practice for the betterment of society.” In relation to the gospel, we should be more compassionate and caring to others. As Lasallians, we should not only think for ourselves but also for the better good of the masses. We should always remember to practice selflessness and service to our fellow brothers and sisters as we strengthen our faith in God.
