First Reading: First Timothy 3: 1-13 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 101: 1b-2ab, 2cd-3ab, 5, 6 Alleluia: Luke 7: 16 Gospel: Luke 7: 11-17 In our gospel today from Luke 7:11-17, we saw how Jesus’ physical presence made an impact in the people not only in His own town. The power of His presence and His mighty deeds and miracles spread in all the surrounding regions. The people who saw His power like in the raising of the dead son of a widow even exclaimed, “A great prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his people.” Very evidently, the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ exudes not only His love and care for the people, but also power to transform lives and even bring back the dead back to life! This is the 1243rd installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Lawrence Quintero, a member of the CFC International Council, as he brings us today's reflection. All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
