No one can serve two masters
Post date: 2015-10-19Autor: BCP
Jesus says that we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve both the devil and God. Each of you should ask yourself: Whom do I serve? Who is my master? God, Jesus Christ, or sin or false philosophy which I favour because I can thus be in the darkness of sin? Today, you must make a radical choice and say a definite “yes” to God and a definite “no” to the devil.
Do not worry about your life
Post date: 2015-08-17Autor: BCP
Jesus tells us to put all our trust in God. He tells us to look at birds and lilies to see how God cares for them. We cannot make one hair white or black by our endeavour. We cannot add a single day, hour or second to our life by worrying or keeping our nose to the grindstone. In other words, let us rely on God, let us be mindful of eternal life. Our life is in God’s hands.
Only the cross of Christ is a bridge to God

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Son of God became man to deliver us from our sins: “You shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Mt 1:21) “There is born to you this day in the city of David the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.” (Lk 2:11)
Modern heresies

The two sentences that were preached by all the Apostles: 1) Jesus He died for our sins, 2) Jesus was raised from the dead and we are witnesses of this. Today this all is being denied masterfully! One can hardly believe that such is the state of the organization which still calls itself the Church.
Reflection on Jn 17:21
Post date: 2015-07-19Autor: BCP
In this verse, Jesus prays for the present and future apostles and disciples and for their internal unity. This unity is no legal unity or unity within a structure. The condition of true unity is that every disciple of Christ must first be in unity with the Father through sincere repentance and saving faith. Prayers for a kind of globalization of Christians in the spirit of New Age with the aim of establishing a unified structure is the exact opposite of what Jesus prayed for.

Reflection on Jn 17:1
Post date: 2015-06-06Autor: BCP
“…lifted up His eyes to heaven…” Jesus thus sets an example to us. We must lift up our eyes to heaven too. We often look down or fix our eyes on vanity or even sin. Jesus said: “Father, the hour has come.” What hour? The hour of Jesus, the hour of His physical and mental suffering and of His death in disgrace on the cross. The time will come when we too shall glorify the Heavenly Father by our suffering and death.During the prayer stop, when you will repeat these words, awaken to the reality of the hour of Jesus as well as your hour to come. Stop for a while, lift up your eyes to heaven and make an act of love for God, an act of total self-surrender.
