by Ross Dizon | May 7, 2024 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus has gone up to heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high as Lord. He wants us to be as fully...

Hand over the Body and Shed the Blood
by Ross Dizon | Apr 30, 2024 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus gives us the greatest proof of love one can give. For he deigns to hand over his body and shed his blood out of...

Sap of Life, Strength and Fruitfulness

Jesus is the true vine. He gives the branches that remain in him the sap that gives them life and strength and makes...
Go and See the Child Lying in the Manger
by Ross Dizon | Dec 24, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is little and poor. We are to go and see and live his being little and poor, so that we may be clean and free of pride and greed that spell ruin. As the shepherds get the good news about the Savior’s birth, great fear takes hold of them. For a great and...
Favors, Blessings, Graces from God
by Ross Dizon | Dec 19, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus, the one anointed with the Holy Spirit and sent by the Father, brings the Good News to the poor. He proclaims the era of favors from heaven. The angel Gabriel comes to Mary. As he greets her, he does not say the name of the virgin betrothed to Joseph. Rather,...
Recognize Jesus Who Is in Our Midst
by Ross Dizon | Dec 12, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is in in our midst. Do we Christians get to recognize him? Do we give witness to him by the way we are, live and act? Priests, Levites and Pharisees grill John as if they were in court. And he does not hesitate to recognize simply that he is not the Messiah nor...
Go out of the Old World of Old Men
by Ross Dizon | Dec 5, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus sees fit to go out of the bosom of the Father to announce the Good News to the poor and to bring in the new heavens and the new earth. It seems that John, like Jeremiah, has the Lord’s word in his heart as a fire one cannot put out. It makes the son of...
Tasks for the Servants of Jesus
by Ross Dizon | Nov 28, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus has chosen and brought us to his house. And he has assigned us tasks that we have to carry out as we wait for him to come back. There are not a few of us who do not do not fulfill our assigned tasks. Is this due to our not being of those who are wise,...
Brother Especially to the Outcasts
by Ross Dizon | Nov 22, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Shepherd and King, Jesus leads us and saves us. He is a brother to all, especially to those who are poor. He wants us to be brothers and sisters to all as he is. Our Leader and Savior is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters. This, of course, means that he is...
Look ahead to the Lord’s Joy and Taste It
by Ross Dizon | Nov 14, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus will come back in glory to take to heaven those who are his own. They love like him as they look ahead to his coming. They thus get a taste of heaven’s joy. We have to look ahead to our Savior Jesus Christ’s coming back in glory. The liturgy we hold today...
Fire up Our Whole Selves with Love
by Ross Dizon | Nov 7, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus makes known by words and deeds that we cannot love God without loving our neighbor. We Christians seek to fire up ourselves with love. The Church asks us today to keep watch. For we do not know the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come back. And to keep...
Slaves in the Same Way as Jesus
by Ross Dizon | Oct 31, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus takes the form a slave and becomes like us. We who seek to follow him are to become lowly slaves in the same way that he is. For us who try to be and live as Jesus, to be first means to be slaves (Mk 10, 43-45). And today’s gospel teaches the same lesson. ...
