Greetings to all in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

As we have entered into a Mid Lenten season, it's time for some introspection!

How was this 25 days of my life?
Did I spend time to...

1) Pray

2) Go to Church

3) Repent/Confess

4) Read the Bible

5) Fast

6) Give

Don't worry!

I would like to encourage you to observe lent now.

It's never too late

SIGNIFICANCE OF MID-LENT!

1) Golgotha Cross

• Answering Moses’ prayer, the Lord commanded him to make a serpent of bronze, and to hang it down from the flag pole. 
• Any one looks at the bronze serpent after having bitten by the fiery serpents was to live and not to die. This is the primary text that the Church has decided to highlight for the Mid Lent.

It also reminds us of our fallen nature and the hope of eternal life in the shelter of the Holy Cross.

2) Festival of Salvation.

• As we read in the Old Testament, when the Israelites were tired of their journey to reach the promised land they started murmuring and cursing.

It also reminds us of our struggle in observing Lent and all the difficulties we faced till now. As we are about to reach the festival of salvation, Easter, let us also not murmur or curse, but in hope and faith, let us pray that we may be able to enjoy our Promise land!

3) Bronze

• As we all know bronze is an alloy made up of copper and zinc.
• copper is known for its delicacy and purity, whereas zinc is known for its dullness and brittle property.

It reminds us of our dullness and inflexibility towards righteousness (purity) but God formed an alloy, a mixture of contrasting metals (DIVINE-HUMAN) as a way for our salvation.

 It is for looking into the Son of Man and believing in Him that the cross is elevated in the midst of the Church during the Mid Lent!

so don't be like the five foolish women.

ask yourself,

is my spiritual candle still lit?

GLORY TO HOLY TRIUNE GOD.

GREETINGS TO ALL,

Dear Friends, Can you just imagine this scene for your Father.
What if your Father is accused of some false charges and he is going to have the most shameful punishment for it? You know your Father is blameless but all witnesses and charges are against him. Your Father is then dead going through the most shameful capital punishment ever.

         This image has a story to tell. Read and stay Blessed.

Dear Friends in Christ,

It's Palm Sunday tomorrow. What message can I share with you other than "Hosanna"?

But while I was about to write on the word "Hosanna", I just thought let me instead limit this article about the message of the CROSS and let God speak to your heart as you read ahead.

# THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS #

 

 1) “If you are God's Son, order these stones to turn into bread.”

2) “If you are God's Son, throw yourself down, for the Scripture says,

         ‘God will give orders to his angels about you;
    they will hold you up with their hands,
    so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.’”

3) “All this I will give you,” the Devil said, “if you kneel down and worship me.”

1) FORTI_fied Friday is actually a grand celebration for us.

2) Our Lord was tempted in every way by the devil, yet he stood against the devil.

3) Jesus FORTIFIED us.

4) All the answer and confronts of Jesus to the devil was, “As it is written”

5) This fortieth Friday, let us pray to the Lord for...
