Holy Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 10:17-30. 

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, ''Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?''

Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.

You know the commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'" 

He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." 

Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." 

At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. 

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"

The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 

It is easier for a camel to pass through (the) eye of (a) needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." 

They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" 

Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." 

Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." 

Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come. 

Acceptance

Accepting the reality and it truthfulness is hard to honestly fathom. The pit that I am currently in to is much likened into a nightmare. It’s more of an unimaginable occurrence that possibilities of escaping it are close to oblivion.

Some of you share the same dilemmas in life. Our right to be free from worries and heavy burdens are sometimes pose as our alter egos. Problems upon problems make our journeys towards a certain goal harder and heavier to reach. We, sometimes, admit the cause but acceptance makes it worst when it or they aren’t your fault.

Just put in mind that these worries are just temporary and that we should not lose hope. Hold on to something that is positive. It’s just a test of how tough in life we are. It further enables us to show our determination and strength in those trying times. Caused by us or not, we must handle it positively.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 9:30-37. 

They left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but he did not wish anyone to know about it. 

He was teaching his disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death he will rise." 

But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him. 

They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"

But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. 

Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." 

Taking a child he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it he said to them, Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the one who sent me. 

ONE DAY

ONE DAY

Am not good at these

Neither an authority

So feel free to say whatever you please

Argue things that I talk about

Endless, careless

I scream out loud

Won’t dare be silent

And shut the hell up

Just don’t need to be violent

Situation I’m now suppressed

Barred from the freedom

To openly express

Is it wrong my dear?

My current stand

And other things I fear

Do whatever you can

Just ignore me

And the foolishness of a man

Indeed falling is not easy

To as spirited as you

By somebody as me

You make sense

To my whole being

Innovation you immense

But I’ll just keep it in

Inside my heart

Feelings I’ll be keen

Those things would be better

Hoping in my distant dreams

Maybe we’ll be together
