Reflection - 51

Dear fathers and my dear friends 1 Pet 5.7 says “cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you “so let’s   give up all our anxiety to god Jesus .let’s try to do our mediation in a good manner

                   As we celebrate the fest of st. John Mary viyani tomorrow we can try to see to his life how he became a good priest the only rezone was he overcame temptation   . so my dear brothers as sir.2.1 says “my son if you have come to serve the lord prepare yourself for temptation st. Philipneri says “temptation  reveled is temptation    overcome “ there is one saying that “devil select only good people to be tempted”  few ways to how to overcome temptations.

1)   Put away the wavering thought if it find difficult consult with the spiritual father 

2)   Hold fast to the lord with the undivided love through fervent prayer

3)   One should always behave as if one has come face to face  with the death 

4)   Constantly meditate

5)   Avid unnecessary speech , visits and friendship which hinder our vocation

6)   Read the holy bible everyday

7)   Meditate up on the glory of priestly vocation

8)   Seek the interception of blessed mother and st Joseph and your paternal saint    

9)   Try to grow in holiness and wisdom                                                                              

  St Paul says in his letter to 1 Cor.12.9 “my grace is sufficient for you for power is made perfect in weakness” again in sir.15.5 “if you choose you can keep the commanded and to act faithfully is a matter of yore choices” we read in st Mathew‘s gospel “stay awake and pray that you may not come in to the time of temptation “so let’s stay awake and try to be awake and reflect up on these thoughts.
