Anbiyam reflection for April 2017
Theme: "Roll away
the stone, unbend him and let him go" - entomb to empty tomb
Scripture: Jn. 11: 1-45
Core message - Jesus
raises Lazarus
Reflections:
1.
We often entomb
ourselves with chains of addiction to alcohol, drugs, sexual deviations,
slander, gossip, envy, pride, prejudices, hatred, uncontrollable anger and we
burry ourselves in tomb of despair.
2.
Sometimes we are in
the tombs of selfishness filled with negative feelings such as worry, fear,
resentment, hatred and guilt
3.
We need to allow Jesus
to visit our dark dungeons of sin, despair, and unhappiness in our tomb
4.
We need to ask Jesus
to send the light of hope, the power of the Holy Spirit into our own private
life and liberate us from those bondages of sin which we have been entombing
over the years.
Discuss with everyone
that there is one or two evils / vices are very predominant in you. There is
nothing wrong in admitting in public and seek the entire congregation present
in the Anbiyam meeting to pray for you.
Fr. Peter
