Meditation Daily
Lord, what do you want us to do for you
Respected, dear friends
We remained of one of the most beautiful meditations of bible in today’s gospel passage. John the most beloved disciple of Jesus, follows his master so closely. A disciple can follow his master only to the extent that he understand and loves his master. John throughout his journey with Jesus tried to know him more clearly. We have a clear evidence for this, before the institution of the holy Eucharist as Jesus and 12 disciple were gathered in the cenacle, john sat very close to Jesus his master. He put his head on Jesus’ heart and felt every single beat of heart. That is why in the beginning I mentioned that today’s gospel passage gives the picture of one of the most beautiful meditation of bible. Conversation of 2 heart takes place. John could foresee the journey of Jesus in which Jesus had to suffer for the salvation of humankind. That is why john followed Jesus till the last breath of him.

Here john symbolized each one of us. We are the one who are called to follow Jesus more closely. Each day and each moment of our life has to be a meditation. When I am so close to the heart of Jesus I can follow him and I can follow him. Silence is the best medium to feel him. Let us try to silence our heart, by giving away the obstacles which keeps us away from Jesus.
Let’s try to converse with him. He is so close to us because every day he comes into each one of us in the form of holy Eucharist though we are unworthy. Jesus the real person and son of god lives in me. Nobody in this earth can be so close to us like Jesus. If I don’t silence my mind and listen to him, then I will be the greatest looser. During this time of meditation let’s try to be so close to him and know his plan and will.
Let’s pray o holy spirit the source of all knowledge fill me with your knowledge. So that I can keep away from all the obstacles which hinder me to be so close to Jesus. Give your graces to understand the will of god and prepare myself to fulfill that lord I trust you and love you.
Amen.

“Never forget O Brave One the best kind of existence is to exist for others” Saint kuriakose Elias Chavara was a social reformer. He is the first canonized catholic male saint of Indian origin. He was one of the founders and first prior general of the first religious congregation for men known as the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate and the founder of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel a religious congregation for women. Though his excellence touched all field, today I would like to focus him as a social reformer. Alas! Till 20 th century kerala history ignored him. But today things are changing. History accepted him as a social reformer. That is why, his history and contributions are become the necessary part of various grade exams like IAS, PSC, etc. He hailed from a Syrian Catholic family. He played a major role in educating and uplifting the people of kerala. St. Kuriakose Elias had the conviction that only through education the social status of people can be impr...

St. Therese of Lisiex – Doctor of the Church “I fell that my mission is about to begin, my mission to make God loved as I love Him, to teach soul my life way” in the answer to the question “What is the little way you want to teach the souls?” Theresa said: “It is the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender.” The poet Ben Johnson beautifully wrote that “ I t is not growing like a tree In bulk doth make Man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night— It was the plant and flower of light.” What is the use of a long life, when it’s meaningless? What is the use if we live as long as Methuselah who lived for 969 years (Genesis 5: 27) and have no sweetness in life? Even if life is short we need to make it sweet. Jesus life was short, just 33 years, but he gave sweetness to others; St. Theresa’s life was short, just 24 years...
