by Ross Dizon | Feb 1, 2022 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the leading fisher of men and women. Those he calls are also, though sinners, to be fishers of other...

by Ross Dizon | Jan 18, 2022 | Formation
Jesus is Good News to the poor. To be such news is his program as the One that the Father has anointed with the Holy...
Free from All Sin, All Anxiety and Worries
by Ross Dizon | Jan 24, 2017 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the most eminent among those who, free from sin and anxiety, commit themselves to God and the neighbor. Having Moses as mediator, God announced the commandments on Mount Sinai. But in these last days, God, speaking to us through his Son, also on a mountain,...
Chosen and Appointed to Bear Lasting Fruit
by Ross Dizon | Jan 17, 2017 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the one who has chosen and appointed us to bear fruit. Jesus’ chosen way breaks the mold. Unlike the religious leaders who are settled in Jerusalem, he withdraws to Galilee. His withdrawal to Galilee shows his courage. He has chosen not to turn back as...
Know the Son, Servant and Lamb of God
by Ross Dizon | Jan 10, 2017 | Formation, Reflections
The only Son is the one who reveals God. Without the Son, we can neither know God nor attain salvation. No one knows the Father except the Son. And only those to whom the Son wants to reveal the Father can know the Father. Hence, Jesus is indispensable. We need...
Worship of God in Spirit and Truth
by Ross Dizon | Jan 3, 2017 | Formation, Reflections
Only through Christ can we give to the Father the pleasing worship in Spirit and truth. And we come to the one who alone suffices only through Jesus. In Jerusalem, magi from the east ask a question. They want to know where the newborn king of the Jews is and to...
Awesome and Alluring Blessing
by Ross Dizon | Dec 27, 2016 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is our only Savior, and he saves in an awesome and alluring way. He will bless us when as priests through our baptism, we invoke his name upon one another. There is no other name by which salvation comes to us but the name of Jesus. And since he is our all...
Light for our Path Is the Word of God
by Ross Dizon | Dec 20, 2016 | Formation, Reflections
The creative and sustaining Word, made flesh and dwelling among us, is the true light that enlightens everyone. The comforting oracle through prophet Isaiah comes to fulfillment with the coming of Jesus. In him, too, the great light that people walking in...
Presence of the Mighty God among Us
by Ross Dizon | Dec 13, 2016 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus, our Savior, is the presence of God among us. Are we Christians the presence of Jesus in the world? The name of the Messiah, of the Lord’s Anointed, is Jesus. His name shows that his mission is to save his people from their sins. Hence, his presence means...
Darkness and Black Clouds that Are Menacing
by Ross Dizon | Dec 6, 2016 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the great light that shines on those who dwell in darkness. John is “under pressure.” Although relatively young, he feels death is lurking in the darkness. The executioner can come any time to take the prisoner away. And the darkness of prison and impending...
Voice Demanding Justice, Mercy and Peace
by Ross Dizon | Nov 29, 2016 | Formation, Reflections
The voice of Jesus is an invitation to the kingdom of God. And the voice of the disciples should be but an echo of their Teacher’s voice. The Forerunner considers himself as a voice shouting out the same message that the one he precedes will also preach: Repent, for...
