The Day that I've been waiting...

5:23 PM by Youth for Him
Today is the day that I've been waiting...why? Because today is the day that our grades went available online. Yes...UST student grades are now available after days of worries. It's my fault anyway that those days became DAYS OF WORRIES for me. Not because I didn't pay attention on my lessons(part of it though), but because I had doubts in the PROMISES OF GOD for me. You may be wondering what these promises are, aren't you? Promises of not letting me fail in any of my activities because I promised Him that when I graduate and work, I will offer my life to serving Him and His people. In short...I am studying and working for Him.
After seeing my grades, I cried and cried...not because I failed in any of my subjects, but because He didn't let me fail. God, again, didn't fail me...and He never will.
Now I can say that I can enjoy the whole summer with my family, friends, and of course...with God.

2:27 AM by Youth for Him
Reading 1: Acts 2:36-41

Responsorial Psalm:
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Upright is the Word of the Lord,
and all His Works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.

See, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear Him,
upon those who hope for His kindness,
to deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.

Our soul waits for the Lord,
Who is our help and our shield.
May Your kindness, O Lord, be upon us
who have put our hope in You.

The Risen Christ..

2:07 AM by Youth for Him
EASTER SUNDAY

Reading1: Acts 10:34a, 37-43

Responsorial Psalm:
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
or
Alleluia.

Reading2: Col 3:1-4 or 1Cor 5:6b-8

Gospel: Jn 20:1-9 or Lk 24:1-12 or Lk 24:13-35

Because of Jesus' sufferings and death, the devil thought that Jesus lost. But today, Jesus' resurrection was witnessed by some of His most faithful disciples. Jesus was raised from the dead. He was able to conquer death. This is a very important message for us. Jesus showed us that death can be conquered with God. That we should not be afraid to die because by our faith in God, we will be saved and we'll receive eternal life. It is a reminder for us that death is not the end as long as we live like Jesus...as long as we put God in the center of our lives.

In God's Sight

6:50 PM by Youth for Him
In God's Sight
by: Millelan2

I woke up in the morning feeling warm and bright
Not knowing what will happen and test my might
But I don't care for I know it will be alright
'Cause I am sure that I am always in God's sight

I'm assured that I'm always in God's sight
That's why I offer this day to Him and night
I offer everything by being the world's light
By following the steps of His Son Jesus Christ

I will follow the steps of His Son Jesus Christ
That is why in humility I will recite
His poem of happiness and sure love of great height
Which helps me recognize the earth's hidden sites

Yes, it will help me recognize the hidden sites
So now, instead of worrying I should delight
I'm sure that I'll be grateful to Him tonight
'Cause I know that God will never leave me His sight

-I made this poem last January 30, 2010 because my cousin asked me to create one. This poem is the main reason why I decided to continue my duties and obligations as a YOUTH WHO LOVES CHRIST. This poem inspired me a lot...I hope it inspires you too.
-peace be with you all!..

Good Friday of the Lord's Passion..

5:11 PM by Youth for Him
Reading1: Is 52:13-53:12

Responsorial Psalm:
Father, into Your hands I commend my spirit.

Reading2: Heb 4:14-16; 5:7-9

Gospel: Jn 18:1-19:42

Today is the Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. He was betrayed, scourged, crowned with thorns, was ordered to carry His cross, crucified, and He died. Our Lord experienced and accepted this not because He has sinned but in order to save us because WE have sinned.
On His way to Calvary, He fell three times. I attended a procession for the Stations of the Cross, and I've learned that the falls Jesus had symbolizes that we have fallen into temptation...we have sinned. Jesus fell three times, but He stood up, knowing that God will give Him strength to continue and will never leave Him.
Many of Jesus' disciples were afraid of the Jews, some even denied Him. If I were there, I might be one of them...afraid of rejection, afraid that I may suffer like Jesus. But if we look at God's way and accept it like Jesus, we'll find that with our sufferings, we are strengthened by God's Spirit. With our sufferings, we are accepting God's grace. With our sufferings and death, we are accepting the new and eternal life with God.
