ACTIVITIES OF THE TRINITY OF GOD IN THE NEW AGE

29TH TUESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME GOSPEL (LUKE 12:35-38) Jesus said to his disciples: "Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants." The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear people of God, In today’s Word of God, God the Father warns His children that when living on this earth, they must be vigilant against the temptations of Satan.  For Satan constantly lures humanity to fall into habits of indulgence and pleasure-seeking, to fall into the passions of sin, and to forget the essential task of caring for the salvation of the soul, which is to live in such a way as to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Through the story of the servant waiting for his master to return from the wedding, God the Father wants to remind His children always to be vigilant and ready to await the day God takes our souls and bodies from this world.  God the Father wants His children to repent of their sins so as to walk in the light and grace of God the Father, that we may be pleasing to Him. God the Father wants everyone to be vigilant. We must always live in love and forgiveness, constantly bearing hearts filled with charity and selflessness toward our brothers and sisters.  He calls on everyone to love God above all things and to love others as themselves. Be vigilant and pray to be intimately united with God the Father, so as not to fall into Satan's temptations, but to always walk in God's light and love. Today's Word of God reminds everyone to be vigilant and put into practice what He teaches so that Satan will be defeated.  Otherwise, Satan will continue to wreak havoc upon souls and bodies, leading people into sinful passions, worldly pleasures and indulgences, which are not pleasing to God the Father. Therefore, God the Father calls everyone, especially those whom God the Father has called to join the Army of Light, as well as all those whose hearts God the Father has touched, to be vigilant and live faithfully to God the Father.  Being faithful to God the Father means doing exactly what He commands, so that Satan will no longer have the opportunity to steal our souls. And when the appointed time comes, when God the Father sees that the time of purification on this earth is complete, He will come to bring our souls and bodies into the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven.  We must listen to and put into practice the Word that God the Father has given; that is the wisdom to which God the Father calls His children. Thanks be to God. Amen.

29TH MONDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Gospel (Luke 12:13-21) Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me." He replied to him, "Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?" Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of possessions." Then he told them a parable. "There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, 'What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?' And he said, 'This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, "Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!"' But God said to him, 'You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?' Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God." The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear people of God, In today’s Word of God, Jesus speaks about the parable of the rich man who only cared about accumulating wealth for himself on earth. He uses this parable to help everyone discern, so that they can make a right and wise choice between accumulating treasures for the Kingdom of Heaven and accumulating worldly treasures. Which one is most important for each person's spiritual life? Jesus came down to earth to teach and help humanity attain eternal happy life in the everlasting Kingdom of Heaven hereafter.  Therefore, in today's Gospel, when the young man asked the Jesus to arbitrate the division of inheritance between the two brothers, Jesus replied that He did not come to arbitrate worldly inheritances, but He came to save humanity from the captivity of Satan and from the desire for material wealth of this world. After that, He told the parable of the rich man who was  concerned only with storing of many material wealth to secure his life. In his thinking: "Now I have an excess of material wealth, so I will just rest, eat, drink, and enjoy the pleasures of this world to the fullest!" And he was foolish. Jesus' words to the rich man are also a warning to those who are only concerned with storing up material wealth for enjoyment in this life: Jesus said to him: “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded of you. Then to whom will those possessions belong?" God is the God of love; He desires to call and guide humanity towards eternal life hereafter, which is spiritual life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, today, God call on everyone to: - Aim for the eternal life of the Kingdom of Heaven hereafter; do not remain focused on earthly material life; never place this worldly life above all else, nor make it the entire purpose  of our lifelife. Because doing so will make one a fool in the sight of God. For only the God of love is the most precious treasure that everyone must seek. - We must accumlulate treasures for the eternal Kingdom of Heaven hereafter, right here on earth, by always knowing how to love and share with others, always having altruism and charity, knowing how to live in harmony, and supporting one another. God is the Wise One; He knows what is good and what is bad for humanity. Therefore, He calls on humanity to fulfill the duties He bestows, to fulfill the 'Law of Love', to love God above all things and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Thanks be to God. Amen.

29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Gospel (Luke 18:1-8) Jesus told his disciples a parable about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary. He said, "There was a judge in a certain town who neither feared God nor respected any human being. And a widow in that town used to come to him and say, 'Render a just decision for me against my adversary.' For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, 'While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'" The Lord said, "Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear People of God, Today's Word of God calls everyone to be vigilant and persevere in prayer to God. He will bestow blessings and spiritual graces upon each person according to their fervent pleas to Him, for He understands all human thoughts, actions, and deeds, and hears every prayer and supplication that humanity offers to Him. God is a loving Father; He always shows mercy to everyone and does not wish for any soul to be lost to Satan. Therefore, He calls on everyone to be vigilant, to persevere in praying to God, to be intimately united with Him through prayer, like a little child with God the Father full of love and mercy. He will answer our prayers, just as in today's Gospel, where the widow fervently pleaded with the judge to judge the case to bring her justice. Through the widow's perseverance and patience, even the unjust judge was compelled to act and deliver justice for her. Through this, God wants to tell everyone that He is a God of love, a benevolent Father full of mercy. He will show favor and answer the pleas of all who are suffering, in distress, or in poverty – those who are calling upon Him - for He has declared: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” What God wants to tell each person is to have a soul of absolute trust and reliance on the God of love. Do not doubt. Do not test God by saying, “if You grant me this, then I will do this or that.” Such a prayer will not please God and will bring no benefit to humanity. Therefore, for a person's prayers to be answered by God, they must resolve to trust absolutely in a God of love and live according to His teachings—that is, with the simple, sincere heart of a devoted child toward the Heavenly Father. Today, God calls humanity to always have faith and hope in God, the Most High. He sees all things and will bestow all blessings upon those who remain faithful and loyal to Him until their last breath. Listening to the words of Saint Paul, who called upon his faithful and continues to call each one of us to be faithful to the teachings of God, to courageously live and profess our faith in the unique God, a God of love, a God who came and dwelt among us, accompanying humanity through His Word, revealed in the Holy Scriptures. That Word remains a guiding light for all humanity to follow. Each day, every person should resolve to live by and fulfill the teachings of God revealed in the Holy Scriptures. These Words must be inscribed in the heart and reflected in one's life, so that all may walk in the light and truth of God. By faithfully following this path, humanity will attain eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven hereafter. Thanks be to God. Amen.

28TH SATURDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C Gospel (Luke 10:1-9) The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household.' If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.'" The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear People of God, Today, the Church celebrates Saint Luke, the author of one of the Gospels. In today's Word of God, it is recounted that Jesus sends out His seventy-two disciples to evangelize. Before being sent into the missionary field to gather the harvest, they were meticulously instructed by Him and granted various graces to embark on their mission. God is the Most High. He knows that humanity needs His love and mercy, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to accompany humanity and free them from the captivity of Satan. Therefore, Jesus called upon His disciples, saying: “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field, for the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” God knows that many souls are suffering, that many are in need of His mercy. Therefore, He sent out the seventy-two disciples to work in the harvest of the missionary field: to proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven, to call people to repentance, and to heal the sick and the disabled. Today, He also bestows this missionary mandate upon all Christians. All are children of God, and each person has the duty to go forth and help their brothers and sisters escape the captivity of Satan. When sending His disciples out to evangelize, God knew with certainty that they would encounter difficulties and trials - like sheep going among wolves. Therefore, He instructed them to live and act precisely according to His commands as they proclaimed the coming of the kingdom of God, so they would not fall into Satan’s traps. The teachings God gave to His disciples of old remain just as relevant today. Hold tightly to the word of God, never neglect the word He has given to humanity. For only by practicing exactly what He commands will Satan not attack, not harm the soul, and not hinder the work God has entrusted to us: bringing souls back to Him. Thanks be to God. Amen.

28TH FRIDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C Gospel (Luke 12:1-7) At that time: So many people were crowding together that they were trampling one another underfoot. Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples, "Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees. "There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed on the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more. I shall show you whom to fear. Be afraid of the one who after killing has the power to cast into Gehenna; yes, I tell you, be afraid of that one. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows." The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear people of God, Today's Word of God, God the Father, admonishes all His children to live with love and filial devotion towards God the Father and all our brothers and sisters. This is the invitation that God the Father bestows upon all humanity to live sincerely with one another in the love of God the Father. God the Father lets humanity know that He sees through all things, for He is the Creator of humanity, and nothing can hide from His eyes. Therefore, we must learn to fear God the Father and avoid occasions of sin; do not walk in darkness any longer. Do not deceive God the Father nor our brothers and sisters any longer. Have the courage to step into the light, for God the Father is rich in mercy and generous in forgiveness. He is infinitely just, righteous, fair, and upright. No one can bring about justice as God the Father does. No one can bestow such abundant love upon humanity as God the Father. Therefore, be wise and abandon the path of sinful darkness and return to Him. Be honest with God the Father, and with our brothers and sisters. For only what is light, what is truth, and what is holy comes from God the Father. Today, God the Father desires all His children to: - Receive His light, love, and grace, and do not welcome darkness, sin, deceit, or darkness into our hearts or souls; for these things will lead humanity to eternal death. - Run to God the Father, and sincerely examine ourselves, repent of our sins, so that we may be forgiven by Him, so that He may hear our prayers and accept all our contrition, repentance, and atonement for our sins right here in this earthly world. - Have reverence for God the Father and avoid occasions of sin; do not give Satan the opportunities to take hold of our hearts any longer. For Satan always brings suffering and eternal death. Cast them out of our hearts, cast them out of our souls, and do not give them entry any longer. - Open the door of our hearts, open the door of our souls to receive the very light and Spirit of God to dwell within us, so that we may put on a new person, which is Jesus Christ. - Cast out all deceit from our hearts, do not clothe ourselves in darkness any longer. For God is a benevolent Father, He always protects, shelters, and guards our souls and bodies. Humanity has been given the special grace of being created in the image of God the Father, so trust absolutely in His promise that He will never abandon humankind. He will providentially care for all things for humanity. Therefore, humanity should no longer betray God the Father and live in deceit. - Trust and have faith in the love of God the Father and return to reconcile with Him, resolve to change our life, living as He instructs: to love God the Father above all things and live sincerely with God the Father and our brothers and sisters. If we live in this way, we will be loved by Him and granted eternal life. Otherwise, Satan will lead us to eternal death. Thanks be to God. Amen.

28TH THURSDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C Gospel (Luke 11:47-54) The Lord said: "Woe to you who build the memorials of the prophets whom your fathers killed. Consequently, you bear witness and give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, for they killed them and you do the building. Therefore, the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and Apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute' in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood! Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter." When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things, for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say. The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear people of God, Today's Word of God calls on everyone to be vigilant in every word, action, and deed. God bestows upon each person the grace of understanding and wisdom to comprehend God's mystery. He bestows and engraves in the soul of each person a loving heart, an understanding of the law of love. Every soul graced by God has the responsibility to bestow those graces upon others. No one in this world is useless in God's sight, so He bestows upon each person a different task, a different mission. When everyone is born into this world, from the young to the old, from the healthy to the sick, God bestows upon each person a loving heart, which is the natural law of love engraved by God Himself in each soul, but the heart in each soul expresses love differently, for no one is perfect in God's sight. Furthermore, God sends prophets and messengers to this world to bring God's word to humanity to guide and help each person know how to live in a way that pleases God. More than two thousand years ago, the Son of God came into the world as a human, bringing humanity the law of love, manifested through His very person. He is love itself; He bestows love upon all humanity without distinction between good and bad people, and upon all who know how to receive God's love and mercy; God came to teach and awaken humanity to recognize Satan's temptations. In particular, today's Word of God warns the leaders in the Church. He says: “Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; you yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter." He states that this is a very great sin in God's sight. God loves scholars of the law, those who understand the Scriptures, who understand the law of love. Therefore, today, God calls upon them not to fall into Satan's trap, not to fall into the trap of the lifestyle of the Pharisees and the scribes in Jesus' time. Today, there are proud, selfish, arrogant, and conceited individuals, who believe they understand and hold the law, and thus use their authority to impose it on others. God continues to call on everyone to be modest and humble, and look up to God, the Most High. Only God is the Lawgiver and Judge while the messengers, scholars of the law, and leaders in the Church are merely instruments used by God. Therefore, He calls upon them to fulfill their duties as faithful, capable, and wise servants, to know how to give precisely what God has bestowed upon them, and to fulfill their duties as leaders in the Church, always knowing how to share, support, and help their brothers and sisters, and knowing how to live oriented towards the eternal Kingdom of Heaven hereafter, which is the goal humanity must achieve to attain the happiness of the Kingdom of Heaven. God calls upon scholars of the law, those who are knowledgeable in the Scriptures, knowledgeable in the law:

28TH WEDNESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C Gospel (Lk 11:42-46) The Lord said: “Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others. Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces. Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk.” Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, “Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too.” And he said, “Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them.” The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone  Dear people of God, The Word of God in today’s Gospel, God desires to teach humanity a lesson that we must have a humble heart and live justly and charitably with one another, because in today's world, people live in much falsehood, injustice, hatred, jealousy, and division. God calls His children to be alert and mindful of their actions and deeds. Do not fall into Satan's traps, for they will seek to infiltrate each person's mind and actions, sowing injustice among humankind. From that will arise injustice, jealousy, hatred, division, and a lack of trust in one another. God does not want to see hatred and killing among humanity. Therefore, today's Word of God invites everyone: - Have absolute faith and trust in Him, and listen to and follow His teachings: to live in love, live justly, and be charitable towards others. To live that out, each person must possess a heart of humility, self-abasement, simplicity, and littleness before God and others; for only when people have a heart of love, forgiveness, and humility can they overcome Satan's temptations. Furthermore, God calls everyone to look at the image of the Pharisees and the scholars of the law, and draw a lesson for ourselves. Do not keep the law merely in its outward form without living and practicing according to God's calling. What God calls for is to live the law of love, which is the only and most perfect law, placed above all human-made laws. Through today's Word of God, God also warns the successors in the Church not to treat their fellow human beings with "the law"; for if they use the law for judgment without love among people, they will fall into Satan's trap. Therefore, today's Word of God invites everyone worldwide, especially the leaders in the Church, to: - Treat your fellow human beings with the law of love and the law of charity. - Look up to God's love for humanity and imitate it in how you treat your fellow human beings. God does not want His good shepherds to fall into Satan's trap, which is to use human laws to judge their fellow brothers and sisters. Thanks be to God. Amen.

28TH TUESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Gospel (Luke 11:37-41) After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal. The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil.You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you." The Gospel of the Lord: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God for Everyone Dear people of God, The Word of God in today’s Gospel,  God calls everyone to live truly from within our hearts; do not live deceitfully or hypocritically, for hypocrisy does not come from God. God is the way, the truth, and the life.  He always desires people in today's world to live true to themselves, from the inside out.  For He is the Creator of humanity, He knows every person's thoughts, words, actions, and deeds.  Therefore, He calls everyone not to live hypocritically before Him, for He will pass judgment according to that person's superficial or hypocritical way of life in the afterlife. Because God's love and mercy are always for humanity, when He sees that people today are living hypocritically, being two-faced and double-hearted with each other so often, He does not want humanity to fall into Satan's traps.  He calls on humanity not to live like the hypocritical Pharisees: outwardly appearing beautiful, clean, and elegant, but inwardly full of filth, impurity, and sin. Through the image of the hypocritical Pharisees who criticized Jesus when they saw Him not observing the law of washing hands before meals,  God desires to call everyone to: - Live truthfully from within. Keep our souls always pure and clear before God. - Do not live in defilement, impurity, or sin any longer; for no one can deceive God, no one can hide from God their superficial actions. God sees through everything from within each person's heart. Therefore, once again, today's Word of God warns everyone to:  - Live sincerely with ourselves, live sincerely with God, and live sincerely with our brothers and sisters. - Do not allow Satan to exploit and tempt us with a life of outward hypocrisy, so that they may seize the opportunity to steal our souls. God always loves every human soul, so He wants to warn and call everyone to listen to and practice God's words, cleanse our souls to live pleasing to God, and please Him in every moment of life in today's world. Thanks be to God. Amen.
