Jesus is God-with-us, which means he is Love-with-us.

Teachers and Baptizers of All Nations
by Ross Reyes Dizon | May 21, 2024 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus has been given all power in heaven and on earth. So, he wants us to be teachers and baptizers of all nations in...
Commit to the Poor of Flesh and Blood
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Sep 24, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus goes about doing good; he loves in deed and truth. He does not just commit to an ideology. St. Vincent is like him. St. Vincent wants those who follow him to commit with zeal to those who are poor (SV.FR XI:133-137). And it seems that he himself cannot but...
Admire the Thoughts and Ways of God
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Sep 19, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus makes known to us God, who is good to all and has mercy on all he has made, and whose thoughts and ways we are to admire. The landowner is good to the jobless. But there are those who, rather than admire him, grumble. These are the ones who have worked for...
Reach by Grace the Unreachable Star
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Sep 12, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is not of the world. Nor are his true disciples. They get to reach what we who are humans find hard to reach. There is no doubt that the way Jesus teaches is not the same as others’ way. For he teaches with authority, not as the scribe. Also, there is such a...
Gather Together Two or Three in Jesus’ Name
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Sep 5, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is always in his Church. Yes, he is in the midst of those who gather together in his name by the initiative of Providence. Jesus wants us disciples to know that we shall receive for sure what we pray for, but on one condition: we will have to agree on what to...
Deny Themselves, Bear Their Own Cross, Follow Christ
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Aug 29, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is all things to all. He leads those who live for others and deny themselves. For they do not seek their own good, but the neighbor’s. Peter is blessed. For in the first place, the Father, not flesh and blood, lets him know who Jesus is. In the second place,...
All Things to All so as to Save All
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Aug 22, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus is the Teacher who shows us by words and by works what it means to become all things to all for the sake of God’s kingdom.
Foreigners No Longer, But Citizens Rather
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Aug 15, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus, our peace, makes one the Jews and those who are not Jews: the foreigners. He tears down, through the cross, the wall of hate that separates them.
Win With the Victorious Over the World
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Aug 8, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus has overcome the world. That is why those who put their faith and trust in him cannot but win in the face of trials, woes, doubts.
God-with-us in Our Joys and Our Griefs
by Ross Reyes Dizon | Aug 1, 2023 | Formation, Reflections
Jesus, God-with-us, is the first of the brothers and sisters who rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. There is a report that fewer folks in the U.S. believe in God and, one can guess, in God-with-us. For the number of believers in the U.S. is...
