The theme this Friday is- 'the Lord is my Shepherd'. David said: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1) When we acknowledge God as our Shepherd we also have acknowledge that we are His sheep. If you think about it, sheep are very humble animals and it is interesting to see how they follow the Shepherd wherever he goes.
Like sheep we too must humble ourselves and look to God alone to lead us into green pastures. You do not have to know how God's supreme plan for your life is going to come to pass. All you got to do is follow His leading, one day at a time and you will be exactly where God wants you to be. (Psalm 37:23) (Psalm 25:12-15) (Proverbs 16:9) Take the lives of those who were called by God as an example. Each of them had to learn the Word of God, believe it and be obedient to God's leading until the end.
The bible says: And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:11-12)
When you are obedient to God and His Word, prosperity and good success will follow you. Sometimes you have to exercise patience. Patience means- to actively believe and seek God up-till you see the complete manifestation of His Word.
As you seek and follow God, God promises that He will be your Provider. You will not want and your cup will run over. Selah. This is something God will do. All you have to do is follow Him and do what He says. Selah.

Good Shepherd Parish Priest? Jesus so loved the world that he laid his life for us .Our prist love world so much that they do not care life/death but contribution to Church fund .Tommorow we will de denied burial if we do not show church fund receiptYou are the tree and cardinal bishops are trunk and we are branches.Then why we lay people rights are not considered by Mumbai church
ReplyDeleteGovt gives receipt for every penny paid the Holy Fathern why Church do not give receipt for contribution to Mass,Donation Certificate issued etc
From last several years I am fighting for transparency in Funds collected by Church .Mumbai Church is full of news about land selling to builders,demanding donations,Not giving records of fund collected
Why Holy Father instead of giving instruction does not come heavily on those who go against Church teachings.Why we are tutored like child that God is merciful and we can go on sinning The first trunk part that will crack is Mumbai archdiocese.
My Church Nativity of Lord kandivali east Mumbai collects building fund of rs two lacks from public every month .The priest refuses to give balance sheet showing where cores from last seven years or more kept .We want to know which banks hold this money .We want expenditure /income details from start of fund.This father has completed five years then why he is not transferred .Should I believe their are God Father?Our Church is closed full day on Monday ,No mass.Why one assistant not given to this church as we have seven hundred families.
We take morcha,candle light ,pray ,posters ,pilgrim walh then why not one soul speaks when priest go wrong
The contribution to fund is voluntary but they have made compulsory by closing nose saying no minority/baptism /marriage certificate be given unless latest receipt of contribution to fund is shown
Holy father has to act against Arch bishop as my letters fall on deaf ear
Father This same priest shouts against corruption of Govt but what he is doing by hiding facts.We can preach many good but can we be hypocrit
WE can arrange yearly picnic yearly party and what not then why not annual general body meeting to discuss accounts and other agenda

Nativity of Lord church Priest has not been transferred though six years passed where as my neighbor church priest transferred though he was good in administration after three yrs.Should we say it is Gods grace,man power or earthly re-souse .News came from liginary that he is transferred but after 15 days same man told he is not transferred .My friend priest said that Bishop Dias was a good Administrator .He would visit church and if He found any priest out of the room after 11 PM ,He would lock the room and ask priest to come to his office.One day he observed priest seeing TV and layman blessing house .He immediately stopped this practice and asked priest to do work .Why my church should be closed full day on Monday .Why one assistant not given though we have doubled
