John 19,25-27

September 15, 2022 (Thursday)
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.

John 19,25-27
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “woman,
behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple
took her into his home.

Reflection
The gospel talks about Mary, the Mother of God who witnessed Jesus as the fruit of her faith. Like Mary,
we are also challenged to carry out God’s plan. To have such confidence to pursue our journey with faith
will help us become living witnesses of God’s providence and love. Am I willing to take good care of the
people entrusted to my care?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, the spirit of faith is a “spirit that 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 need to ask the
Lord to increase our faith when sorrows assail us, that the sword of discernment may not lose our
connection with you. Let us allow ourselves to follow our Holy Father Founder St. John Baptist De La Salle
perfectly live the faith following God’s plan.

Prayer
MISSION PRAYER 2021 Year of Missio Ad Gentes CBCP
God, our loving Father, You sent your Son into the world to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to all: to
sinners, the poor, oppressed, the sick, the abandoned and neglected. He gave His life on the Cross for us
and rose again to new life to redeem us and reconcile us with you. You sent Your Holy Spirit to the
Apostles to continue the work of Your Son and to lead all to salvation. We thank you, Father, for bringing
us from darkness into light. Through Your loving plan, 500 years ago, missionaries came to our land to
proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, Your Son, to our ancestors that made us Your people and the Church. The
gift of faith has accompanied us through both darkness and lights, defeats and victories of our history as
Your people. Our faith has become for us true light that shines in the darkness. Renew in us the grace of
your Spirit that impels us to be witnesses of Jesus, Your Son, to a world broken by greed, violence,
injustice, sickness and suffering. May our faith bring us to unity as your children to care for and love one
another. May the Holy Spirit empower us to be proclaimers of the Good News to our brothers and sisters in
Asia and to all nations. Give us the sincere desire to help others to come to faith in the Lord Jesus to share
in Your joy and life. May the Blessed Mother, the Star of Evangelization, accompany us and pray for us as
we live and share our faith with others. May our strong love and devotion to her as our Mahal na Ina form
us to be true disciples and witnesses of Jesus to all, always ready to be sent, and to be obedient to whatever Jesus asks of us. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and and reigns with
You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.
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.
