“See that you make everything
according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry
as he is mediator of a better covenant,
enacted on better promises.
I am a little overwhelmed this month – being the start of the year and I was just getting into a routine when I had to fly home for a wedding ceremony of a next door neighbor ( almost family) .. my routine was tossed out of the window. But the best part was visiting the newly constructed church at my village !
A little bit of history and context, as my state was colonized by the Portuguese for many years, we as natives were converted to Christianity and the villages had churches and chapels in abundance. While each geographical village has a Parish church and priests and villagers are always connected via all the events. The population in my village outgrew the size of the small church – so sunday mass was a tough one.
Its been 4 years, the entire village contributed to build this massive church complex with gorgeous architecture (although I love the older churches ) and it was the very first time and I could imagine Jesus preaching around it! While we are all asked to just stick to the commandments and pursue a better ministry and spread christ through our words and deeds.
its almost the end of the first month of a new year and I’m still struggling with my daily routine and prayers have taken a massive backseat .. It is time for me to respect the commandments especially the first and give the Lord all that He deserves. A lot of love, my time , my devotion and faith and stick to commandments of not pursuing other idols and coveting others achievements.
Pray for us Mother Mary!
AMEN
